Hi,

I have no problems connecting to the following database 'Test' using dbuse()

#define DBNAME "Test"

*if* ( dbuse(dbconn_pool, DBNAME) == FAIL ) *
return* -1; *
else* *
return* 0;

However when I use a number in the database name it fails

#define DBNAME "Test2"

Any ideas why it fails? I can connect to 'Test2' through tsql and queries work fine.

Thanks,

Shaun.
