Mark,
That's not really that way you work with RDBS engines. It's not a desktop
database like Access or FoxPro. (mmmmmm....Fox Pro!)
What is the problem you are trying to solve? Is the remote connection too
slow?
You can always use mysqldump to create a MySQL script that will rebuild the
database on your local machine. (Assuming you have MySQL loaded on your
local machine.) But you won't be able to just access the files directly, you
will have to have a copy of mysqld running.
HTH,
Cal

Subject: MySQL remote access
I have remote access to a MySQL database. I would like to be able to
"download" a table or portions of a table to my local computer so as to work
with the data using other tools for simple data manipulation. Can this be
done? How? Any tips or pointers in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated.
