The traceback helpfully shows us that colValue is a 1-tuple whose zeroth entry, colValue[0], is an actual bona-fide Python Set object. Such objects aren't indexable, because sets are unordered. That still doesn't tell us where colValue is coming from, though, so why it is a Python Set object when you expected it to be a string remains an unsolved mystery. -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
