Grant,<br><br>that is possible. Just read the makepy.py script within win32com.client, and you will find that someway down main() there is<br><br>---------<br>GenerateFromTypeLibSpec(arg, f, verboseLevel = verboseLevel, bForDemand = bForDemand, bBuildHidden = hiddenSpec)<br>

<br>
Basically I want to have an installation package automatically run the<br>
COM MakePy utility for the ADO 2.8 library. I believe I need to do this<br>
so that constants like win32com.client.constants.adTinyInt will be<br>
available when my application (<a href="http://www.sofastatistics.com" target="_blank">http://www.sofastatistics.com</a>) connects to<br>
MS Access and MS SQL Server databases.<br>
<br>
Ideally I would have a line doing something like this:<br>
<br>
win32com.runmakepy("Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library (2.8)")<br>
<br>
Is it possible to do this programmatically?<br>
<br>
<br>
All the best, Grant<br>
