Okay. here is the source. (I think that this is what you are refering to). But my first message indicates what actually appears on the IE screen after I click on the button "SUBMIT".

Make the connection to the database. The syntax is
odbc_connect( 'SYSTEM_DSN' , 'USER', 'PASSWORD' );
$cnx will hold the
pconnect is used to establish a persistent database
connection to the Database until the procedure is completed.

First, we create a connection to our ODBC source. This is done by creating
a connection. Once this is done, we are returned an ODBC connection number.
We use this number to use the ODBC functions within PHP.
