in reply to Extracting data from a pipe delimited text file into a table in Access

Have you checked your DSN?

The reason I ask is when I run your code unmodified, everything's kosher. Could it be that you have more than one DNS environment on your box (e.g., version one, version two, test, etc.)? I've been bit by this before -- run code against one database expecting the data to show up in another?

FWIW, I'm running:

  • ActiveState 5.8.0.806
  • DBI 1.35
  • DBD-ODBC 1.05
... and when I tried a couple of different things (e.g., five fields vs. eight, fields six through eight "not null", etc.) perl complains rather loudly.

    Thanks c2!
    As far as I know i have one DNS environment
    I set up the DSN the usual way
    - Control Panel ->ODBC Data Sources->System DSN->Daily_Rec(which is linked to the database)
    I also checked if the Read-Only checkbox was unchecked

      Okie doke... If you have access to another machine with perl and Access on it, try to recreate the error there.

      If it works there, then there's probably something hosed up with your config (e.g., wrong version of the driver or something silly like that).

      Cē
