Ahhh - But that's the point! If you are "up and running with MySQLdb on linux" then you should be up and running with with the same code on Windows. The exact same Python script you run on Linux will work for you on windows! I *think* you might be able to attach the ODBC driver but it would be a complication and an unnecessary one at that. Just point MySQLdb.connect() at the servers IP address. Go to SourceForge and download the MySQLdb installation for win32 [MySQL-python.exe-1.2.0.win32-py2.4.exe]. Sometimes you can't believe it because it's too easy :-) Thomas Bartkus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
