Ok, thanks for the help, people. I finally got it to work. Was really quite simple. (wish it were like this all the time heh). I just had to run the *clears throat* winmysqladmin.exe and then everything went smooth as glass.
Again, thank you all for your help. :) -- Best regards, Curt Kliewer ************************************************************** ************************************************************** Sol Interactive Development Applications Programmer/Analyst Internet Solutions/Server-Side Programmer ************************************************************** ************************************************************** Contact Information: ICQ: 1835597 MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.sol-interactive.com ************************************************************** ************************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Kaiping To: 'Curt Kliewer' ; 'G r e g L a w r i e' Cc: 'MySQL List' Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 3:17 PM Subject: RE: running MySQL on WinXP Sounds like you need to add permission to connect from localhost.
