You'll also need to get hold of some odbc software - check the manual for some sources at this link http://au2.php.net/manual/en/install.configure.php#install.configure.data bases There are several odbc options - I don't know which is better or worse but a search through the mail archives will probably turn up some recent discussion. -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA I won't rise to the occasion, but I'll slide over to it.
