Michael,

I can't thank you enough.... In hindsight, I am mad at myself for not
eliminating all necessary parameters to the connect string.

Thanks again for this and the other questions.

Ian

The DBI->connect() call syntax is wrong.

You need:

$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Sybase:server=sqlserver', $user, $pass);
