Hi I know very little about IIS, but I do know that "it fails" doesn't tell us much of anything. We need details. What are the actual errors reported. Have you tried running it from A without using IIS under the same conditions as "another script that connects up to B using the same settings, not through IIS" If, as it seems you mean, that was via the command line then the settings were likely subtly different (user would probably be different). At a guess, I'd say your problem is either configuration/installation of the module, or user based. -- Niel Archer -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
