in reply to Access to MS Server
I have found that if you are going to access the same database repeatedly, it is better to create a system ODBC data source. The wizard checks that the server, username, and password exist and work.
my $conn_name = 'matt'; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$conn_name", $username, $password);
