I have a command-line program for interacting with MySQL running at the moment. I am able to connect to the instance of MySQL and query the database. In the world of Windows a "service" has a particular connotation. Is your question, "Do you have MySQL installed as a Windows service, and is it running?", or is it more general as I describe in my first two sentences? -- Charles Knell ckn...@onebox.com - email

It is a separate service, that needs to be running before you can access it. -- Regards, Jean-Marc -- . ___ . @@ // \\ "De Chelonian Mobile" .
