I have your book and read your recomendations. At work on the
other hand ODBC is not seen as the way to go we use ADO.
For Python I'm also reading up on ADO to see how it compares
to the odbc approach.
One thing I did not want to do was have to do sys admin to
setup ODBC. With ADO I can pass it the access info from within
my app.

Where in the U.K are you based?
