ops, sorry jay, i forgot this...
do you install mysql in your web server? if you install it on your web server, so i think you should install the odbc driver for mysql in your web server... and after that u can use your asp script to make connection to your mysql database.... have a nice try :-) Ivan Paul Web Developer Mediate - Media Communications http://www.bhaktimedia.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Jay Fields <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 21:35 Subject: connecting to mysql via ODBC from asp.net > I've installed the windows version of mysql.
