did anybody succeed to run gvIB v. 0.96 an win2k yet? In runs well for me on win98, but I didn't get it going with win2k. From the python command line everything works well, but if I try to connect to the database from zope I get the message "Invalid connection string".

You answered:

I use it on win2k all the time. What is the exact connection string you're using? Where is the database on your system?

My connection string is: c:\database\employee.gdb sysdba masterkey Im an running IB 6.01 Server locally. The following code at the command line works without problems: cd c:\programme\website\bin python Python 1.5.2 (#3, Mar 8 2000, 16:34:52) [C] on sunos5 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam >>> import gvib >>> db = 'c:\database\employee.gdb' >>> cn = gvib.connect(db, 'sysdba', 'masterkey') >>> cn.close() >>> ctrl-z RETURN It's a type 1 database (IB5 compatible). Any idea? Best regards: Uwe Fechner
