Thanks Timothy, I tried subscribing but the list server does not appear to be working. Hmmm.. well maybe I'm mistaken. I just tried again and it sent me a confirmation this time.
I figured out my problem: Microsoft Access does not use the traditional architecture where clients use pipes or sockets to connect to a process on a (possibly) remote machine. Instead it creates a temporary file with the extension of ldb. If users from two different accounts have access to the database file because the administrator granted them access, the second user will still have a problem because he won't be able to access the temporary ldb file created by the first user. My solution is to have everyone use the same account. This works because in my situation, one user is a web server and the other user is a batch job that runs every couple of hours.

Two is just a thought, but have you tried using DBD::ADO instead of DBD::ODBC? -----Original Message----- From: Siegfried Heintze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 2:15 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: Simultaneous access: Perl (DBD::ODBC) and C# (ODBC) <snip>DBD-ADO interaction issue</snip> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
