I think either table engine would be OK but InnoDB has some good extra features and is the default in recent versions of MySQL so I would go with that. Now about your connection problem You need to check the following things in this order. Can you get to the server machine on the network? Pi

I don't quite understand your question. I assume you are interested in the MySQL database engine. The latest production version of MySQL should be fine for this, running on suitable hardware. The server would not actually be VB6 but I assume you mean that there may be some head office clients writ

RE: Problem with BLOB Field
