If you have the mysql client programs and are using a Unix machine (maybe even Win but I'm not sure) you can use the mysqldump program. It is usually located in the "bin" directory of your MySQL distribution. Mine is /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump. Read up on it, it can dump all data from your database and does so with the CREATE TABLE statements attached so that the whole thing can literally be rebuilt from scratch. Just chop off the contents if you only want the CREATE TABLE statements. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
