How to use makepy?

[Dale Strickland-Clark]

Thanks for all replies. I've now read the chapter in Python Programming on
Win32 and am somewhat the wiser.

However, I am confused as to why it seems to break this very simple program
after running Makepy on "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library".

At the print statemtent, I get this:

    print DBRec(0).Value
TypeError: too many arguments; expected 1, got 2

Where did it get 2 from?

------------------------
import win32com.client

DBCon = win32com.client.Dispatch("ADODB.Connection")
DBRec = win32com.client.Dispatch("ADODB.Recordset")
DBRec.CursorLocation = 3  # adUseClient = 3

sDB = "s:\\ths\\merlin.mdb"

DBCon.Open("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.MDB)}; DBQ=" + sDB)
#DBRec.open("House", DBCon, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable)
DBRec.Open("House", DBCon, 3, 3, 2)

DBRec.AddNew()
DBRec.Fields("Price").Value = 234000
DBRec.Update()
print DBRec(0).Value

DBRec = None
DBCon = None
----------------------------

Thanks for any help
