I'm getting closer!!!!
Thanks again!!!
I have my root account set up on my local machine. I guess I need to figure
out how to set up an account for my remote server. Does that sound right?
Sorry, I'm still trying to grasp how this all works.
Thanks to your help, I have figured out how to see my databases and tables
through the mysql.exe prompt box.
I havent done anything in DOS...i dont think i need to at this point, but i
could be wrong.
So, I'm not sure how to set permissions on a remote file...I cant find a way
to change my 'localhost' to 'mydomain.com'. Isnt that what I want to do
somehow?
Thanks!
Mac
