Well, at long last I'm going to try using a remote back end - MySql. Problem is I can't seem to get the odbc driver (5.1) configured. When I enter the required information I get an error stating a connection could not be made to the database. Obviously I'm not entering the info correctly so I'm wondering if anyone out there knows how to get it done.
The database name is 'pos'. It is on Yahoo! The server name is 'mysql' instead of the usual 'localhost' and it is connected to my website 'www.calpictures.com'. I believe my problem is getting all this data into the "Server:" field correctly on the Data Source Configuration page in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. Thanks!
