Sure. I was speaking mostly figuratively. I've been primarily using scripts and other tools to analyze the differences (supplemented by eyeballs, though -- you never can tell what you'll see that your tools missed). > If you can't fix it, make it worse, and see what you learn...

No, I get the message "No module named pythoncom" when I do that. The original problem has "The specified module could not be found." (This was raised by an attempt to invoke pythoncom.CoCreateInstance()). > If you don't learn anything that way, put it back, and change the > python path on the working account. What happens now? The python paths are already identical. If I remove essential pieces from sys.path on the working account, I get: ImportError: No module named win32com.client Also, since the module cited in the stack trace is pythoncom, and that's located by a registry key, I'm not sure how sys.path would have come into play. > As user 1, do a system-wide search on the name of the module that's > failing to load.

There is only one copy of pythoncom22.dll (which is the implemented pointed to by the registry for this module) on the machine. The registry has only one key for the module. > I'm not familiar with Win2k user/group permissions, but on Unix, I'd > check whether the module is readable only by user, not user & group. Both users are members of the Administrators group, and this group has the equivalent of rwx for pythoncom22.dll. Thanks again for your suggestions. Still puzzled, though. -- Bob Kline mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rksystems.com _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs Other options: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/ActivePython
