The other thing I don't understand from your email is just where PHP resides. MSSQL can only run on windows, therefore are you trying to access MSSQL from a PHP application on the Linux box or is the PHP on the windows box as well? -- Regards, Alf Stockton www.stockton.co.za Writing is easy; all you do is sit staring at the blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead. -- Gene Fowler My email disclaimer is available at www.stockton.co.za/disclaimer.html
