I now have:

#! C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w

use DBI;
#use strict;

my $DSN='Database';
my $driver;
my $servlist;

#connect to database
my $dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$DSN", "admin", "") || die;
my $sqlstatement=("UPDATE Servers SET Servers.nic1_driver_version=? WH
+ERE server=?");
my $sth=$dbh->prepare($sqlstatement);

#Open file for reading
open(INPUT,"file.txt") || die;
while (<INPUT>)
    {
    chomp;
    my ($servlist, $driver)=split(/,/);
    $sth->execute ($driver,$servlist) || die;
    }
close (INPUT);
$dbh->disconnect;
[download]

but still get:

DBD::ODBC::st execute failed: Microsoft ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Too few parameters. Expected 3. (SQL-07002)(DBD: st_execute/SQLExecute err=-1) at C:\Perl\scripts\test\newer.pl line 21, <INPUT> line 1.
Died at C:\Perl\scripts\test\newer.pl line 21, <INPUT> line 1.

Thanks again,

• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
