I think it's a user problem, but it's hard to be absolutely sure because you still haven't posted the exact Perl code you're using, so I'm having to guess what you're doing. From what you have above it appears that you are not putting quotes around your strings or escaping special characters in them, so you're probably getting SQL errors. Are you getting any error message? Do you have RaiseError on, or at least PrintError? -- Keith C.
