Yeah, when I sent the email I was letting personal emotion get in my way because it was frustrating me. I realized shortly before falling asleep that I'd been doing this on my workstation, which has been around since god-knows-when, and has god-knows-what left on it. I think I'll stand up a test vm or second box with just the unixODBC bits and no other java remnants and retest with mysql. Hopefully this time I'll manage to keep my yap shut until I've figured it all out :-P -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
