Excellent Helen,

thank you.
I now test for the file_not_found error in myConn.OnError, and then
execute my createDB proc, and suppress the exception.

I'm still quite baffled as to why my original try.except block will
only catch the Connect exception if LoginPrompt is True, but I will
worry about that later as I must press on!

Thanks again.
