I added the following to the mySQL DA download area: Note: if you are having trouble getting the mySQL Python extension to work or to compile, try getting the source from <a href="http://www.python.org/ftp/python/contrib/Database/">python.org</a> and doing a fresh compilation. The source distribution below expects the source to the mySQL module to already be present. I hope it states things right... --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul@digicool.com 540.371.6909
