Hi David There does not appear to be any reason why you are having problems. Try using the odbtp/mssql hybrid extension at http://odbtp.sourceforge.net. It uses Microsoft's ODBC driver for SQL Server. The mssql extension on Windows uses DB-Library, which Microsoft stop supporting after SQL Server 6.5. If you use php_odbtp_mssql.dll instead of php_mssql.dll and read http://odbtp.sourceforge.net/phpext.html#mssql, you should not have to modify your script(s). -- bob On Wed, 17 Mar 2004, david wrote: > Bob: > > Is this case, PhaseFK is an integer.
