Do a search on google on "Imail sql dll" and it shoudl turn up. Imail will create its own tables, you do not need to set them up first.  If you are using sql, make sure that you pass the user id, password and dabtabase name (assuming sql authentication not nt authentication). The ipswitch knowledgebase has details on this (search on imail sql"). That should work ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott A. Keen To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 10:42 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] External database Can someone please tell me what I have to do to get IMail to work with an External Database?   I've already created the SQL Server database "IMAILSECDB", and created the DSN "imailsecdb", and the table "myserver_com" with the fields as specified (although I had no idea what field sizes should be).   When I try to Add User, I get the message, "Cannot create user. Check external database settings."   Any suggestions?   Scott
