True you could, but then that way you will loose portability if Jon (for whatever reason) decides to move to another type of DB. Never used libmySQL so I dont know how the speed is, but assume its as fast if not faster then ODBC. ODBC has the plus of being user friendly and of being an M$ Universal Standard. -Nick
