But after figuring out how to set up the ODBC connection, it was easy!!!!!! WOOO HOOOO!!!! Thanks everyone, now delete all of these urbane messages and get back to work!

OK, but I'm also stuck with an IIS server (due to a third party "Web Enabling Solution" ... let's hear votes for Access v. MySQL in this environment... I don't mind learning the "hard" stuff... but I don't want to screw myself either... I originally got into the whole PHP because of a MySQL/PHP driven site, so I have nothing against MySQL unless it's a compatability issue...

Hi > -----Original Message----- > Ofcourse you can use Access through the use of ODBC, MySQL is not for > beginner's who use windows and don't now unix. this is not true. MySQL is a installable programm like every other win32-App, with an easy documentation. The most important thing is this: windows don't reflect the current internet-webserver, so if you do local development, you must emulate the internet/unix solution as good as possible. This can only be done via apache1.3.12 with php3/4 and mysql (or another often used internet-Sql-Base), even if you are learning php/database progamming. It is not a good idea if you use access connected with php for learning (cause you can't use this combo on real-life-server), try learning the "hard" way, it worth the energy you put into.
