Hi, Lee

I got zope and mysql working together last night on win2k.  I used the
instructions in

http://www.zope.org/Members/philh/mysql

(Thanks, Phil Harris!)

I did have to use the custom dll and pyd mentioned there.

http://www.google.com/search?q=mysql+zope+win32 might have more clues if
this does not meet your needs.  

To answer your next question, 
the connection string is like 'db@host username password'

hth,
