Thanks for the answer - but I am already the root user and have phpMyAdmin using the root also (because this is just a single computer for testing work and there are not any bit security issues).

I'm not very experienced with MySQL, but I believe that you need special privileges to load data from a file. Normally, other than the root user will not have this kind of privilege. Without it you will probably have to ask for someone with do it for you, or give you permissions to do it. If you have access to the root account, then try it from there!

Now I was trying to add more from a simple text file using the LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP\\php3E.tmp' INTO TABLE `headlines` FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' ENCLOSED BY '"' ESCAPED BY '\\' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' instruction which phpMyAdmin creates. It refused to do it and returned the error message: #1148 - The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version I feel there must be a simple explanation May I ask if anyone can help???
