What? W: or X:? As this does not seem to be an issue with PEAR::DB, the guys on the PHP mailing lists might be more helpful on this problem. I still don't see the need for the slashes. I have an old dbase based script on my Windows system, that works with 'C:/data/foo/bar.dbf' (just an example) without problems. Please remember that the DSN string already requires two slashes after "dbase:", just like you would do it with "mysql://user:pass...". Regards, Mark -- http://www.markwiesemann.eu
