Huh. And you say this worked before? I don't see how it could. $table is an identifier and shouldn't be surrounded by single quotes. That particular name doesn't need any quoting, but if it did, the quote character should be backtick (`), not apostrophe ('). Also, you might need to say \\n rathe

Actually, $table is not enclosed in quotes. And Paul corrected the quote syntax in the second edition (I was using the first until just now). :-) >>> "Mark Galbreath" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11-May-06 10:30:38 AM >>> There is no error in the log file. The actual terminal print is: %> import_dbf

Ah. I believe this is the first time you've mentioned that it might have something to do with the version of DBD::mysql. What's the last version you used for which it worked, and the version that you're using now? That's pertinent information; omitting it makes it more difficult for people to help
