You can access Sql Server certainly, I think we use ODBC at work, but all hidden in the Perl libraries used. Not sure about Access, it is a file based database so presumably not. Surely that you want to access it from more than one computer suggests Access is the wrong database to use, since file based databases have inherent problems with corruption, and lack the usual automatic clean-up you get in sensible databases. There were tools to extract data from MDB files, but last I tried none to actually (re)write the database files directly. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
