Probably a naming clash. You have student defined as a class, yet when you run the for loop, student is named for each instance of that class in the list. Python is most likely getting confused when you say student.row = 0, thinking that you mean All student classes' rows set to zero. At any rate, it's a bad idea to mix names like that. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
