1. What database are you using and is it set up for password protection? I wonder if you are using Access without any security.
2. You can also use DBD::Excel with DBI to access Excel files. It's functionality closely resembles that of ParseExcel, especially since it was written by the same author.

I have two more questions: 1. I setup username and password for my database, and the perl code runs fine. But when I changed my username or password inside of perl code, not database, the code still can access the database without checking it, is there something I have not setup correctly at ODBC side? 2. How could perl code talk to Excel format file? for example, read Excel file as an input file and display at browser or send data from web page to Excel file? I know we have communicate through ODBC for Excel, so I believe it should work. Thanks for your time. Ping 12/6/01 at 12:01pm __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
