A decision was made a long time ago not to include the DB interface modules. Think about it. The module is not really part of the Dabo framework any more than datetime is or any other module you might want to use.

This is not a bad idea. In fact dbMsSQL.py (so is Postgres) is missing any error reporting for the connection. I'll look into it. But I have to say that it will be a low priority. Once the developer has installed the connection module (in this case pymssql) and has the correct connection parameters (host,port,user,passwd,database) he stops thinking about it. It just works. > 3.

Dabo runtime installers was aimed at new windows users to get a feel for Dabo (at least one of the reasons). It sounds like you are beyond just testing Dabo. I suggest that you use SVN to download the Dabo source. Since you already have a python install just use the 'pth' method to get Dabo working. The 'pth' method is - just add a 'Dabo.pth' file in the site-packages folder. The 'Dabo.pth' contains the path to your Dabo install. I.e. "C:\dabo" Let me make a suggestion. Run your Dabo app from a command line. You will see many more error messages. Instead of double clicking on file "ClassDesigner.py" open a DOS window (cd to the right directory) and use 'python ClassDesigner.py'. You should see many more warnings and real error messages. Of course ClassDesigner.py can be replaced with any python script. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
