No, it appears you're getting a different (and expected) error now. "[ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified in LOGIN"
That means you didn't give a valid ODBC connection string when you tried to create a connection. Earlier you were getting "TypeError: exceptions must be classes or instances, not str". Try putting a valid connection string in your test. thanks, Preston On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 10:00 AM, Robin Becker <ro...@reportlab.com> wrote: > On 01/12/2010 00:28, Vernon Cole wrote: > >> even more important, also install a new copy of pywin32. >> http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ >> >> >> ....... > > OK I have installed both python 2.6.6 and the latest pywin32 ie build 214 > for 2.6 (before I had 212).
