I'm sorry to tell you it didn't work. I made the neccesery changes but I get an error when he is opening the database:

$= olecallfunc ( $cnn, "open", "s", "$source" )

ERROR NUMBER: -2147352567
(isn't this an end-of-file?)

Could you please explain the variable $source ?
And why don't I have to make an ODBC data source?

Is anyone else trying this?? If so, does it work for them?

Shawn, I really appreciate your work here, and I really like to know how it works, but it's not very essential that this script is going to work soon. I would much rather learn some guidelines to OLE than just have this script running, so if you could explain some of the commands that you use, and why you use them, that would be really cool...

Greetings,

Roger the Young
