> Oh well what can you do. You can cut your losses and most likely be better off. I've been in the same situation many times. A client decides to move from one developer to me for whatever reason. Usually, the 'other developer' takes it rather personal and does/says whatever they think will make them look more knowledgeable or 'better' than you.
If the client wants you to do the job, then they need to let you do the job and give you a certain amount of trust. If they want to believe the 'other guy', then maybe they should continue to use him/her instead. The best advice I can give you is to not expect any straight-forward help from a broken ego. I've only used mysql and mysqldump commands to backup/restore databases but they've never failed. Why can't the 'other guy' just mysqldump the db into a sql file and send it your way? Because that would be too easy and kill any drama about who knows more. ....sorry I'm so bitter. I'm very close to the courthouse steps because of a VERY similar situation and would hate to so you go through it as well. Good luck! ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Only PHPMyAdmin access. Alas the client has decided to believe the old developer. Which is strange considering he came to me in the first place because the developer still didn't have his site up and running after several weeks, and I got it almost working in a few hours. Oh well what can you do.

Get yourself a gui tool like mySQLFront or SQLYog. You should be able to do a direct export/import from server to server right from your desktop. All you need is a username, password, server IP and port number. As for the client getting a line of BS from the developer, you were able to explasin the problem to us without too much technobabble. Supply your info to the client and let them decide who is full of beans. Perhaps they can apply some leverage once properly informed. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:221994 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
