in reply to ODBC and Sockets (can they function at the same time?)
Since I have little to no info on the matter, I can answer your question.
Yes, Sockets and ODBC can work together. Many times you may connect to your Database using Sockets.
As far as your problem, I'm affraid I can't give very good suggestions without more information.
- Perhaps your program can't find/get a connection to Access?
- Maybe the path to perl is wrong?
Be more specific and we can try and help you with your problem, perhaps you should post to 'SOPW'
