Robert -- Just in case what Quentin and Rick said isn't clear, the MySQL DLLs/libraries are linkable and usable from Delphi/KYLIX. Quentin's note gives a good hint about one way to do it. I seem to recall from my last job that there are people around using Delphi as a front end to MySQL, so you shouldn't be alone if you do go that route.
BTW, there are open source solutions for the user-interface which don't require the web browser. I've heard people mention GTK in this context. There was even a book (about building user interfaces for MySQL with GTK+) mentioned on this list in the last several days (by the publisher, looking for more reviewers, and I thought about volunteering for the free book). But I think using Delphi should be straightforward enough to get you started with MySQL. Joel Rees [EMAIL PROTECTED] Robert A.
