MyODBC is a tool for connecting with MySQL, which is a DBMS, not a front end for other DBMS products. 2. MySQL comes with an excellent manual, and there are plenty of examples available to help do what MySQL and MyODBC are intended to do. If you didn't get the manual with MySQL it would be interesting to know where you downloaded it from. -- Bob Kline mailto:bkline@stripped http://www.rksystems.com
