I'm not a big php user, but, if you have set and are using a password, why does the access denied message show (using password: NO). If memory serves (and it has been a while) using ODBC means that you have to set up an ODBC 'proxy' that you use to actually make the DB connection. So my question would be: Did you specify a password when you set up the ODBC connection? I don't remember if ODBC allows password pass-through (or if it does now). Edward W.
