Paul What can I say? Maybe to hang in there - I struggled for months (literally) to try get Cocoon 1.8.2 going with database access - and it behaved differently on each of 4 different machines (ie a different thing went wrong on each of them!) In the end, switching to C2 has made a big difference, even if I now have to go back and rewrite some large chunks of previous applications! (dont ask when *that* is going to happen...) Derek

Unfortunately it made no difference and I still get the same error message: Cocoon just doesn't see a connection to my database. I have to say I've wasted so much time trying to get Cocoon to do what it says it can do that I'm close to abandoning it. But I'm loath to let the time I *have* put in go to waste, so I'll willingly try any suggestions that come in today before I adopt another approach on Monday! Paul.
