Thanks, but what can FreeTDS do? So it can connect to my AIX server and retrieve that text file out?

You need to download, compile and install FreeTDS (http://freetds.org). If you are using PHP you need to recompile it using --with-mssql. This will enable the mssql extension. You can then create a php script to read the text file, parse it and create the data in a MSSQL server on a Win32 box (PHP is running on your AIX box). - Frank > Hi, > > I got a little project and I need to come up with a solution on how to > finish it and was hoping if you guys can give me any ideas. > > I have a PERL script on a Unix AIX machine that checks for incoming update > of data.
