in reply to ODBC problem

I posted the original question (thanks for the link to retrieve my old account).

I got this working by creating a System DSN entry (I had been trying with a User DSN previously) which included the path to the database

my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:MAS90', $dbuser, $dbpassword) or die "Cannot connect: $DBI::errstr\n";
This worked, apologies as this wasn't really a Perl issue
