Glad to hear you finally had some luck, Rowland, although it's a bit of a stretch to suggest I pointed you in the right direction, as I was pointing you backwards when you needed to look forwards.
And thank you for raising the level of intercourse here with a bit of Latin.

I eventually discovered that there is a newer version (5.1.5) of the v5 driver now available than the one that was installed on the Windows machine (5.1.4). I downloaded & installed it and everything is now working as it was in the beginning! The MySQL support site has lots of stories about the same error 10061 but none of the things suggested as a fix on any of the various threads made any difference to the symptoms. If I'd looked more carefully at what was available in the way of driver downloads after reading your post, I might have saved myself some bother. Thanks for your response - you were certainly right that a change of driver was needed! I guess I was just getting blinkered because I thought I'd got the latest one installed. regards Rowland -- | Wilma & Rowland Carson http://home.clara.net/rowil/ | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ...
