Ok, What I've done pass my basic tests, (eg, calling

the new class directely gets sensible results. I now

have to try it in action.

(

My development is is here http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-odbc

current new module is at: -

http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-odbc/file/807cb91fc495/dabo/db/dbOdbc.py

)

I can forsee a slight problem with creating the connection as

Odbc connections all require either a Driver of a DSN parameter

entry. Neither of which are in known by dConnectInfo.

Do I need to teach it about these? And is athere any where else

that needs two know about these extra parameters?

TTFN
