I think that is related to the set up in the user table in MySQL db. Maybe the user is allowed to connect from "localhost" but not any other hosts. Add a record for that user with same privileges and a '%' for the Host column may help. > Dong Wang > Grand Central Networks > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Bonn, Brad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 11:25 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Access permissions problem. Anyone ever seen this before? When trying to open a database using mySQL, the specified username and password work fine, and all access permissions seem to be in place. But when trying to open *any* database on the server through DBI, I receive an "Access denied for user@host". I'm pretty much at my wit's end on this. Anybody out there have an idea of what I might be doing wrong? Brad Bonn - ATS Development "Move Zig!!! For great justice!!!"
