Slightly off-topic, but be sure you get either a patched version of MDAC or download MDAC and go back to Microsoft and get the patch. John

I guess you meant DBI and DBD::ODBC. You need the ODBC drivers, but I bet you already have them. BEsides you may download them from Microsoft's site (part of the MS Data Access Components or whatevr they call it now). > Is there even a special database driver, although I haven't found one > on CPAN.

Sorry don't know of any better docs.
