Hi John, This reply was a bit slower, as I'm at work atm. Revolution has its own set of database drivers, for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Valentina, and ODBC. You do not need to change the database driver path unless you move these drivers from their default location : <path to revolution>/components/global environment/database_drivers/win32/ Even when you're building a standalone application, the se settings should be correct unless you move things around afterwards. In your case, I'd create a new stack and use the Database Query Builder to see if you can connect properly to the DSN. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
