Dear Madam, Sir, I created a new user with : ./mysql -u root -p1234 mysql grant select,insert,update,delete,create,drop on prodoc to prodoc@"%" identified by '1234'; In my asp script that is opening the connection I use : cnnString = "DRIVER=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver;URL={jdbc:mysql://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:3306/dbname };uid=username;pwd=1234;" The error : Invalid authorization specification: Access denied for user: 'username@ns' (Using password: YES) Strange thing is that when I replace username with root, all works well... I even creates an admin with full rights, both for localhost and @"%", but still no good. All hints are wellcome. Kind regards, Harry M.
