Andy, I have this working fine. Are you running NT or \'98? If NT is Zope running as a service? If so, did you create your DSN as a System DSN? Richard -------- part of original message ---------------- Right, that over, here\'s my plea: I\'m trying to create a connection object to a MS Access 97 database. I\'ve installed the ODBC DA product but I cannot get my connection to actually connect. The error I get is, \"invalid connection string: project,\" (project is the DSN name). _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
