Hi

I have a web DB proyect and I would like to make a VB6 client where I can
connect to a local X database and a Web MySQL on a UNIX server.

So far, locally everything works great with VB6 and MySQL, the grids,
textbox, ADO control, etc.(DNS-Less and with DNS).
But when I connect to the DB on the web(Troughchj), which uses the same
MySQL structure, I get errors like "CANNOT INITIALIZE DATA BINDINGS" from
the grid control and I supose is going to be the same with some other
controls.

Any way, I understand that there must be some options changed on the ADO
object(control..?), like the cursorlocation, type, etc. this are the things
that I haven't get clear, I been reading little things about this from there
and there(like a puzzle)... and didn't work until I remembered read (from
MySQL site I guess) that it cannot use the SELECT * statement.. so I tried
specifyng the fields and it worked(DataGrid)...

So, What would be the rules I need to look for in order to get VB to work
with web MySQL DBs..?
Is it mandatory NOT to use the ' * ' in the SQL query..?

By the way, has anyone used DBSync from Sandshot software..? I'm trying to
use it as a way of avoiding the need of developing my own VB replicator, but
I have some wired eorros with remote MySQL DBs.

Thank you very much
