Wesley,

Thanks for your reply (also thanks to others who replied). I was trying to
translate a VBA sample in this page http://tinyurl.com/3hvj3j to python. The VBA
sample has a line "Set objDbx = Nothing".

Btw, I bought your book "Core Python Programming, 2nd Edition" and really enjoy
reading it. Thanks.
