This sounds like your MSSQL connections are getting mixed up. If the two databases are on the same server and the same sql login has access to both databases you can query everything from a single conenction. You just have to qualify the tables/procedures with <database>.<user>.table to the server knows where to look. If you need two different connections and the host/user and passwords are the same you must tell mssql_connect to force a new connection. Set the optional forth parameter to true. - Frank > I have a php script where I need to access tables in two different MSSQL > databases. > The scenario is ..... access 1st database to retrieve data that will be > used when calling a StoredProcedure within the 2nd database which will > return data with which one can access the 1st database to retrieve more > data. > > If I do both calls to the 1st database by hardcoding info from 2nd > database all works well but if I access 1st, call StoredProcedure then > attempt to do a select back on the 1st I get :- > MSSQL returned: Invalid object name 'EarnRate' > EarnRate is an existing table in 1st database. > Please help. > > -- > Regards, > Alf Stockton www.stockton.co.za > > Q: What do you call a principal female opera singer whose high C > is lower than those of other principal female opera singers? > A: A deep C diva. > My email disclaimer is available at www.stockton.co.za/disclaimer.html > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
