Hi Dan, Although it looks like you can access your database directly, you might want to check with the hosting company that this is meant to be possible.
Try creating a new database user in CPanel (if that's what you use) and make sure it has the right permissions. Which version of Revolution/LiveCode do you use? For a customer, I created a PHP library that lets you connect to the database from LiveCode directly. I could do the same for you if other options aren't going to work. Here http://qery.us/2gv is some more info. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Economy-x-Talk is looking for an amateur painter/cartoonist/poet etc. Contact me http://qery.us/du The Economy-x-Talk office is closed from 30 August until 4 September 2012.
