As usual, I spoke too soon. I clicked on the Browse tab of the DA details page and got a 'Sorry, an error occured'. The source of this reveals: ---------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/src/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 870, in publish_module File /usr/local/src/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 583, in publish (Info: /zopeland/Solid_database_connection/manage_browse) File /usr/local/src/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/Globals.py, line 234, in __call__ (Object: manage_browse) File /usr/local/src/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 514, in __call__ (Object: manage_browse) File /usr/local/src/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, line 166, in render (Object: a tree tag) File /usr/local/src/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, line 256, in tpRender (Object: RoleManager) File /usr/local/src/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, line 493, in tpRenderTABLE (Object: RoleManager) (Info: ([85, []], {'childless_decoration': '', 'id': 'tpId', 'branches': 'tpValues', 'header': 'info', 'url': 'tpURL'}, ([85, []],), ([85, []],))) File /usr/local/src/Zope-1.9.0-src/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, line 310, in tpRenderTABLE (Object: ACTIVITY_CODES) File lib/python/Products/ZSolidDA/DABase.py, line 183, in tpValues (Object: ACTIVITY_CODES) File lib/python/Products/ZSolidDA/db.py, line 293, in columns NameError: error --------------------------------------------------------- The relevant code is: --------------------------------------------------------- def columns(self, table_name): stmt=self.stmt try: self._apply(SQLExecDirect, (stmt, 'select * from %s where 1=2' % table_name)) 293 --> except error, v: state, native, mess = v raise error, "%s (%s)" % (mess, state) --------------------------------------------------------- So, error is not defined at this point. Removing it and leaving v shows that v is not defined here either. I have an idea what these should be, but I'm certain there's a Zopitista(o) out there that knows for sure.. Thanks Bill
