http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=python+web+database (hint: the first two or three pages will be the best. Look for books by people whose names seem familiar :-). Some of those links will contain real examples of code and give you a useful idea of how some things can be done. Others will doubtless post more specific advice, so I am trying to provide a little background in case it should be needed. More specific (Google) searches will also give insights into different aspects of this problem. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC www.holdenweb.com PyCon TX 2006 www.pycon.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
