Im using Access 2k with PHP 4.2 win32 binary.

Im simply trying to query the columns in a table, thus;

--
$conn = odbc_connect( 'DSN_NAME', 'root', '' );

$cols = odbc_columns($conn, "%", "", "[table]");
--

This returns the error;

--
Warning: SQL error: , SQL state 00000 in SQLColumns in ......
--

I have seen previous postings in various places regarding this issue but no mentions of a fix/workaround anywhere???

Whats the problem with this?  Is it the odbc drivers for windoze or somthing code related (although the above follows the manual to a 't')?

Cheers,

Rick.

If I remember correctly the issue isn't the MS driver, or the code, but the Access JET engine.  The '%' driver I believe is not supported by the JET engine and as such fails on all attempts.  Unfortunately I can't test to prove it right now, so give that a try.

Thanks for that although Im sure thats not it.

Ive tried every variation of;

--
$cols = odbc_columns($conn, "%", "", "[table]");
--

as reported on this site and phpbuilder.

Also, elsewhere Im using

--
$query =  "WHERE Surname LIKE '$search_val%';"
                                          ^
--

with no problems.  But maybe it handles this differantly.  I have seen hoards of postings about this but no official line from the good people at php.net.  Knock up a quick access table and test it yourself... you'll see what I mean.

Rick.
