Dan, Please cc the Zope list while we're talking about this. What is the -H option to isql? Can you import the sybase module from python as per the build instructions? What user are you running Zope as? Does that user have permissions to the sybase client directory? -----Original Message----- From: Dan Zweifel [mailto:danz@vonhoffmann.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2000 4:01 PM To: 'chrism@digicool.com' Subject: RE: SybaseDA Chris, Here is what happened next.......
