Do you mean the odbc module? If so, it doesn't come standard in Python; it's part of the win32 package. I haven't used it for years -- my preference on Windows these days would be mxODBC if the client would pay the licence fee, otherwise pyodbc. Sorry I'm not answering your question ... perhaps you should be asking a different question :) Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
