trouble with import odbc

[wryder at taz.cs.wcupa.edu]

Thanks for the reply.  As I posted later, I got it working.  Would just like
to mention that because an error message is accurate doesn't mean its
helpful.  For example, say you want to buy a house.  Is knowing that a house
is for sale enough to help you out?  Or do you need to know more?  Even if my
mistake was an ametuerish one, none-the-less a simple indication of the path
and object that the script was attempting to load would have saved me a
couple hours.
