[Zope] PrincipiaTime with MS-Access ODBC data

[Brad Clements]

I have an Access database that I get to via ODBC. One of the columns 
is type "Date/Time".

I want to see if a record is "recent", as in the previous 7 days.

I've tried various things, where DocumentTime is the Date/Time field 
type...

<!--#if "PrincipiaTime() - PrincipiaTime(DocumentTime) < 7"-->

and

<!--#if "PrincipiaTime(DocumentTime+7).isFuture()"-->

But I keep getting this error:

Error type:  
 Error value: __mul__ nor __rmul__ defined for these operands

  File E:\Program 
Files\ZopeOne\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 268, in 
eval
    (Object: PrincipiaTime(DocumentDate))
  File &lt;string&gt;, line 0, in ?
  File E:\Program Files\ZopeOne\lib\python\OFS\Application.py, line 
283, in PrincipiaTime
    (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions)
  File E:\Program Files\ZopeOne\lib\python\DateTime\DateTime.py, line 
506, in __init__
TypeError: (see above)



(the above trace is from a simple #if "PrincipiaTime(DocumentTime)"


Any suggestions?

We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight 
paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would 
learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, 
and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been 
wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice.
