Short explanation: The execute() method of DBD::ADO 2.77 returns $rows instead of $rs->RecordCount (because it seems more reliable). The type of $rows is Win32::OLE::Variant, which obviously cannot be restored. I guess your client runs on Unix where Win32::OLE isn't available. Hmm, but you connect to localhost - how does it work at all? Quick fix: Change the last line of execute() at ADO.pm (line 1669 in v2.83): - return $rows || '0E0'; # $rs->RecordCount + return $rows->Value || '0E0'; # $rs->RecordCount Please let me know if this works for you! > I also had to fall back to DBI 1.38 for the 2.73/2.76 versions to work. What's the problem with DBI 1.39? Steffen
