Usually, errors like this are caused by version problems. Somehow, the DLL does not fit the rest. To analyse such errors, you must determine which DLL could not be loaded and which symbol makes problems. The first information can usually be determined from the Python traceback. It tells you in which calling and code context an exception occured. The last line is especially relevant, it tells the place where the exception occured. Preceeding lines tell how you came there. The message looks like generated from an MS operating system. MS operating systems have the unfortunate tendancy not to name things in their problem describing messages: as above "some procedure" rather than "procedure XXX". I do not know how to find out under MS which symbol has problems. Maybe, you find something in the MS documentation (which is said to be good). Maybe, we already learn enough from the traceback.... -- Dieter _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
