In reverse order, yes I do have a password on mysql which I did not before OK still failing, this is what I am typing mysql -e -p "GRANT ALL ON msn.* TO t...@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'timssqlpassword'" Error 1045 (28000) Access denied for user 'tim'@'localhost' (using password: NO) and the error I get is the same as before I have tried changing the localhost to IP address and the name of the PC but still the same. Am I being really dumb here?? Tim ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!
