Sent by: perl-win32-users-boun...@listserv.activestate.com _____ We are cleaning up some code that a no longer resident programmer created. This code works: $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:GreystoneActivity","$userid", "$userpw")|| die "Couldn't connect to database: " . DBI->errstr; But we can't figure out how the DBI:ODBC knows where the GreystoneActivity database (an old Access database being replaced with MySQL) resides. Is there a utility that told it the database's location? Thanks... Doug check the machine that the script is running on if it is a Windows based system there should be a user or system DSN called GreystoneActivity that has the details of server and database configured on the system.
