Well it looks like I have limited options. I'm guessing that the web host will let me have limited rights to the server as it is - probably only basic FTP and other limited DB rights - I do hve some control using phpmyadmin to manipulate data.
I'll almost bet that they won't let me run a task from the server. What about running a script from an exe ? thanks MS > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Mark -- > > ...and then Mark Stringham said... > % > % Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could run a periodic mysql dump > % for a db that is hosted remotely - IE a web host.
