ick indeed, but maybe for different reasons... There is an ODBC database driver that you can use to access Access. But you will have to be careful about locking if the traffic is high. Access was designed as a single uuser desktop database and that legacy still shows through. The very latest versions are better but if you have more than 1 simultaneous update going on at a time I'd consider moving the database or using snapshot technology or similar, Access locks by pages (default 2K?) which can mean a lot of data rows being locked by a single update. Make sure as a minimum that you are not locking on reads! HTH, Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
