Greetings everybody. In the documentation for MSSQLreporter there is a complete, runnable program example code. this is what it looks like: #!perl -w use strict; use DBIx::MSSQLReporter; my($connect) = "dbi:ODBC(RaiseError=>1, PrintError=>1, Taint=>1):DSN=LocalServer"; my($reporter) = DBIx::MSSQLReporter -> new(connexion => $connect); print "User tables: \n"; print join("\n", @{$reporter -> get_tableNames()}), "\n\n"; I tried running this and here is the error message I got: DBI->connect(DSN=LocalServer) failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (SQL-IM002)(DBD: db_login/SQLConnect err=-1) at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBIx/MSSQLREPORTER.pm line 406 (in cleanup) Can't call method "disconnect" without a package or object reference at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBIx/MSSQLREPORTER.pm line 457. i have no real idea how to get around this. any ideas?? thanks _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
