Unless you've previously granted GRANT permissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (as the MySQL root user), then this will, and should, fail. In addition, though I'm not entirely certain, I think you need to delimit [EMAIL PROTECTED] as two different strings -- GRANT ALL ON store.* TO 'admin'@'localhost' If you need help giving GRANT permissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED], let us know or check out: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GRANT.html -- Mike Johnson Web Developer/Systems Asst.
