It sounds like you're not calling conn.commit() before you close the database. By default sqlite (and any other DBAPI 2.0 compliant sql wrapper) will start in transactional mode. You need to commit() your transactions or they will be rolled back when you close the database connection. If you don't want to call commit on your own, you can switch the database into autocommit mode by setting the isolation level to None when you open the connection, like this: conn = sqlite3.connect('.\optiondata', isolation_level=None) -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
