Hi,My problem is I'm not getting any of the Microsoft message, just the numbers. If you've an opportunity, could you check the versions you have of the DB packages, aginst what I posted, I still think I may not have everything I need, or their not current. Or maybe I installed in an improper sequence. I'm getting errors now when I try to read the data using
while ($db->FetchRow() ) { @Data= $db->Data( 1 ); }
which should just get the first column, but I get this error sequence for every record.

Line 51 being Fetchrow. Of course there maybe a problem with the data base, but everything is supposed to be stright text. Also tried using examples found at http://www.roth.net/perl/odbc/docs/ODBC_Docs.htm# for Data and Datahash, but keep getting similar errors. Of course some of those column names are names with spaces in them, so that might be yet another problem. And I thought this would be easier than figuring out visual basic. Thanks again for your time and help.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
