Hi Siobhan

If you already have a connection object open then just do

set oCmd.ActiveConnection=YourConnectionObjectName

instead of the connection string

as for isql just go into BOL click on the search tab and type 'isql utility'
in the text box and hit "list topics", it should come up ranked about number
9 ;o)
