Well, I suppose that depends on what you mean by "give them access". Are you you talking direct access via mysql command line or phpmyadmin? I don't know your specifics BUT, it sounds to me like a job for a php front end of some sort. That would certainly make that a moot point. ... Miles Mawyer -=- Webmaster . Centralva.net ... ...

Our requirements are quite specific. I'm not saying I'm ruling out using mysql, just would like to hear whether there are any alternatives. Also, I notice that the mysql schema has a a users table. Isn't it going to be difficult to give a single user access to change their password while hiding other users passwords?
