You just started the server. If you want to run it as a service (I assume you have Windows NT or 2000), use the --install option. Now, you could open another command prompt window and start mysql with, for example: mysql --user=someguy --password=secret Hope this helps. ===== ------------------------- Benoit St-Jean [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
