If you don't have to use MySQL, try either SQL Server or MS Access (small databases). See my pages on Zope NT SQL at http://techsite.tech-world.com/zopetips.htm for NT specific info. I would also recommend NOT using Win9x for ANYTHING. I always use NT. Other than that, have you installed the Win32 python extensions? Not sure if these are required with mySQL as I haven't used it myself. Alan
