Hi Rob,
Thanks for the input. What I did was I hard coded the database, userid
and password in the connect string like so and still didn't work for one
but did for the other.
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:testdb", "testid", "testpass", {
RaiseError => 1 });

Depending on how the ODBC provider is configured, the 'testuser' may not
be used (nor the supplied password) and the login credentials of the
current user are used instead.
On the user that works, try changing the 'testpassword' to something
that is "wrong". If *that* user can still successfully run the program,
then you need to look at the configuration of your ODBC driver manager.
(someone could probably give more accurate terminology to the "provider"
or "driver manager" that I'm slinging around, but I ran into this
problem on Windows where there was a checkbox for whether to use "NT
Authorization" or a username/password)
