It took some experimentation before I understood how to configure ODBC, but it didn't seem all that difficult to me. I'm not exactly a guru on these things but if you want to troubleshoot my first question will be what ODBC related packages you have installed, and whether you installed them from Debian's repositories of some other way. -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD
