[Andy McKay] The ODBC setup should allow you to select a networked database on another NT/2000 server. That should let the the ODBC driver handle it rather than Zope. If your database has client-server capability, you can run a client for it on the same box as the Zope server and access it using ODBC talking to the clienton the one box which gets the data from the database server on the other. I'm doing that successfully running SQLAnywhere. Otherwise, it might be a problem about talking to NT network hosts from Zope. I remember that the LocalFS had a problem with that and you had to install a patch to make it work. Maybe you could find out some details by searching for LocalFS things, and maybe emailing its author. Good Luck, Tom P
