Check the faq first, there's a lot of stuff related to web server settings. DBI FAQ (www.xmlproj.com/cgi/fom.cgi) Some questions that will lead to more: What database are you using? If "file based" is the file on a network drive or local? NTFS or FAT? Does it work from the command line but not from the web server? Regards, Jeff
