[Zope] Zope with Microsoft Access

[Chris Gray]

Here's a fix.  Change the line:

<dtml-call UpdateHours(REQUEST)>

to:

<dtml-call "UpdateHours(myval=_['myval'], mykey=_['mykey'],
sequence_item=_['sequence-item'])">

and change the name of the parameter in your ZSQL method from
sequence-item to sequence_item and change the dtml-var tag in the method
to <dtml-var sequence_item>.

Cheers,
Chris
