Before you can give odbc_connect() a DSN, you have to set one up (a DSN) in the system. Here's one site the does ODBC on linux... http://www.easysoft.com/products/oob/main.phtml Or you can use the iodbc manager (don't remember where it is.) Once you have the DSN setup in there (IP, port, etc) then you can pass the DSN into odbc_connect(). Late. -Szii At 04:14 PM 7/6/00 -0700, Samuel E.
