You can extract the file ODBC32.dll from the cabs on your win98 cdrom (the cab files are like zip files, ie 'cabinets' that hold other compressed files). >From command.com change directories into <cdromdrive>\win98 dir win98*.cab | more Note the first win98_??.cab file. On my disk it is win98_21.cab. Then type extract /a win98_21.cab odbc32.dll /l c:\windows\system <enter> Make sure to substitute win98_21.cab with the first number on your disk (Win98 Gold, SE, OEM, and Retail disks are all numbered a little differently). This will put a copy of the file into c:\windows\system. The latest version of this file is included with the MDAC update v2.8. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=828396 has more information. It may be better to get the update, as the version on the win98 disk is around 4 years old. Josh > Miroslav Majdan wrote: > > > I am using Win98. I have installed PHP-4.3.4-Win32.
