First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has answered or responded to my questions in the past. I have a bad habit of posting, getting loads of great repsonses, but sometimes fail to whip back a quick Thanks. I am trying to figure out how to create a Perl script to access a MS SQL server, grab/copy some tables, and dump them into my MySQL server. This would not be a one time shot, it will probably be something I would like to run thru cron. I quess my question is how do I connect (providing they will give me access to the SQL 7 server)? Do I have to install some Perl Modules that will handle this? All bones thrown are always appreciated. Mike mgcon@getnet.com http://www.getnet.com/~mgcon Phoenix, AZ USA
