Eric, You have to install a suitable Chinese dBASE driver. I know I have seen old postings from PHP programmers trying to find or make work an English driver for dBASE tables. If you are using an older version of dBASE tables (say, 4 or 5) you should be able to find a Microsoft drivers. You may wish to look at using something other than dBASE tables such as Firebird or some similar relational database product. Drivers are less of an issue with them. -- Geoff Wass [dBVIPS] Montréal, Québec, Canada .|.|.|        dBASE info at http://geocities.com/geoff_wass       |.|.|. .|.|.| ---------------------------------------------------------- |.|.|. .|.|.|             IT Consultant http://Geoff_Wass.com            |.|.|.
