[Zope] Data Adapter connection string and Win32

[David Hassalevris]

Thanks Jonathan,

Thats not the problem.  Probably the python product converts the path
separators if necessary.  The Data Adapter has always worked, using paths
like c:/localhost:/one/two/data.gdb - it was just the introduction of a
connection_string  name with SPACES in the data path, eg
c:/localhost/ /program^ files/two/data.gdb^userid^password that's causing
"invalid connection string" errors.

My guess is that the DA is grabbing string parts (path,userid,password)
using spaces as delimiters.

 David
