Mikael, the following steps should get you started: >From Windows, go to control panels->administrative tools->data sources (ODBC)
Click on the System Data Source Name (DSN) tab Click Add and select Microsoft Access Database from the list (.mdb) Name your DSN and select the access file you are making the ODBConnection to now, you have that NAME to reference your database with PHP's built in ODBC functionality. For instance odbc_connect( "Your_DSN_Name_Here", "user", "password" ) will open the connection to your database... For further help you should consider purchasing Wrox's Begining PHP4: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861003730/minnirokcom Good Luck, Cam "Mikael Syska" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > Check the functions regarding ODBC support.
