Why? ;-)

The reason for this is that we expect the DB to grow quite large. It will be holding PDF's.

Interesting. Have you looked at something like LocalFS so the PDF's themselves aren't stored in ZODB? Mindyou, can't see any problems with the way you ARE doing things...

%define RBSC Z:\zodb

<zodb_db main> # Main FileStorage database <filestorage> path $RBSC/Data.fs <-------------------------------------- Here </filestorage> mount-point / </zodb_db>

I'd try path $RBSC\Data.fs, but what happened when you tried the above? Did you get any error messages? Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
