ok, modified it to this:

Code:
$objConn 		= "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=test;USER=test;PASSWORD='';OPTION=3;"
$sql			= "INSERT INTO computer(name) VALUES('testcomputer')"

DBConnOpen($objConn)
? "Error @ERROR:  @SERROR"
sleep 5

DBExecuteSQL($objConn,$sql)
? "Error @ERROR:  @SERROR"

DBConnClose($objConn)
? "Error @ERROR:  @SERROR"


and i get, "Error 87: The parameter is incorrect."

Is that still indicative that I need to have the driver installed?
