I have this working fine. Are you running NT or \'98? If NT is Zope running as a service? If so, did you create your DSN as a System DSN?

I'm running NT4, SP6a. Zope is a service, running. The DSN is system. In fact the whole setup is *identical* to that on a colleague's machine I have spent the morning checking out. Which makes me think that the issue lies with my machine, and that it is an NT DAC / service pack interaction thing or somesuch. Dang. AndyG
