Hi Have you tried running this in Win NT. I've had similar problems and I don't think that there is a solution - but it works ok on Win 95 and Win NT but not Win 98 and 2000. I've got a machine with Win XP but haven't had a chance to try it.
Good luck and I'd love to know what the problem is - no one so far on this list has responded to this problem. Ian Your original message: I've spent some time looking at the archives and couldn't find anything that really addresses this. Sorry if I missed something. I need to grab some data from a Visual Foxpro database sitting on a remote disk. Here's my set up: Windows 2000 5.00, SP2 Perl 5.6.1 DBI 1.20 DBD-ODBC 0.28 ODBC 3.52 MS Visual Foxpro Driver 6.01 When I run the code below, everything works fine until I try to fetch the third row. At that point, Windows gives an error saying that Perl has committed an access violation. I have verified everything else and even the first few iterations of the fetch work. I can't figure out what could cause this. When I tried putting a trace on it (right before the fetch), it doesn't include any more information, which makes me think that it's maybe a problem with one of the ODBC components rather than the script...? Or maybe I'm missing something? I should also note that I can use the same DSN to run the same queries from WinSQL without a problem. .....
