"Note that when running as a service, there seem to be some problems with ODBC connections." I'm just about to try those out - does the problem just not work at all or is it something that I as a neophyte don't have to worry about?

Thinking it was a typical shortcut generated command prompt window I was closing it after seeing it produce it's startup messages. This was apparently closing Zope... I've never seen a window need to stay open like this before so just followed my nose.
It's that way because start.bat starts Zope in debugging mode. Remove the line or the part where it mentions -D and then it will close itself and zope will stay up.
Erm, no. It won't. It works that way on UNIX, but not on Win32, because that Win32 just doesn't support that. The -D switch stands for Debug, and has more effects than just not disconnecting from the terminal on UNIX. Not running in a window can only be achieved when running Zope as a service, and therefore only on NT. This mode was especially set up to overcome the above problem. Note that when running as a service, there seem to be some problems with ODBC connections. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | T: +31 35 7502100 F: +31 35 7502111 | mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ---------------------------------------------
