I can send queries to add data to my database ok but when i send a query to get data from my database i get one of 3 errors and my python server that zope runs from stops. The errors i get are Python experienced an error in (either nothing,MYSQL.DLL or PYTHON15.DLL).

Alan:

This is not meant sarcastically.

You are probably the only person who has ever tried to do this!  Probably
no one can help you.  (In case people don't remember, Alan is working
on Win9x; windows 98, as I recall.)

You are working on a platform which is known for instability, with
limited debugging capabilities.

I urge you to either change to NT/SQL Server or to Linux/MySql or
to Linux/PostgeSQL.  I can help you with the last, I suspect others
can help you with either of the first two.

Moreover, the fact that you are getting crashes in multiple places and
.dll's suggests that you have hardware problems, like an overheating CPU,
or failing RAM.
