I have Apache and PHP installed on my PC running XP Professional. I created a system DSN and got past the odbc_connect but it died in the odbc_prepare statement. Error message: Warning: odbc_prepare(): supplied argument is not a valid ODBC-Link resource in c:\perl\htdocs\test2.php on line 20 cannot prepare result Here's my code (w/username and password changed): $connection = odbc_connect("mctadb", "username", "password") || die("cannot open database"); $sql = "SELECT MeeetingTitle, MeetingDate FROM meeting;"; $sql_result = odbc_prepare($connection, $sql) || die("cannot prepare result"); Any help would be greatly appreciated, Beverly Steiner steiner277@charter.net -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
