I have similar needs: to export data from an access database and generate web pages with that data using perl on a Unix. I've found XML Converter from http://rustemsoft.com that can export a whole Access database to XML, which I've then copied to the Unix host and parsed using Perl and XML. It might not fit your needs, but I've found the approaach "good enough". Marcel -- We are Perl. Your table will be assimilated. Your waiter will adapt to service us. Surrender your beer.
