Hi
I'm using activestate python 2.4 on win xp 2 ed. and Ms Access 2002
(reading first http://starship.python.net/crew/bwilk/access.html)
I have writed the following code

def append_from_Access(self):
   try:
      import ...
      conn = win32com.client.Dispatch(r'ADODB.Connection')
      DSN = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA
SOURCE=C:/Afile.mdb;"
      conn.Open(DSN)
   except Exception, inst:
       ...
   try:
      sql_statement='SELECT * FROM  Mytable'
      rs = win32com.client.Dispatch(r'ADODB.Recordset')
      rs.Open(sql_statement, conn, 1, 3)
      while not rs.EOF:
         id=rs.Fields(colName.Value) #colName, valid column name
         ...
      rs.MoveNext()
      rs.Close()
      conn.Close()

     except Exception, inst:
         ...

I'm using it for reading tables or queries in a mdb file.
With some mdb it works fine and return a no empty recordset, but with
others mdb files, the recordsets are void (opening the tables or
recorsets with Ms Access are not void).
Some help is welcome,
Thanks in advance
Luis
