Yes, I did try. The issue was the security level setting on the new DB server, and not the password stuff. I've upgraded apache, mysql, and php in the last few weeks, and 3-4 issues became painfully apparent when going from php4 to php5, so I guess I was operating under similar assumptions and frustrations.
My apologies to all. I'll try to keep from functioning in iamadummy mode. David ********************************************************************** Have you tried this yet? While 4.0 client can't connect to a v.5 server unless the passwords have explicitly been stored as old_password, I have never run into an issue connecting a 5.x client to a 4.0 server. - michael On 6/7/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is it possible to connect to a 4.0.18 DB from the client of a 5.0.27 > system?
