What I have to do? Gunnar, I guess I'm a bit confused about this question... you use the term "access" when talking about Win9x/2000 users getting at the database... are you talking simply about them as "users" of an Inter/intranet site (browsing to pages on your webserver), or are they accessing the data on your Linux box through methods OTHER than web browsing (client/server connections, etc.)? If the windows users are only accessing your data through the web server, then they don't need ANY additional database connectivity locally (mySQL, ODBC, or otherwise), as this is all handled through php on the server. But, if they are using other software (local C application, for instance) to get at the data via a robust client/server model, then indeed they may need additional database setup on the local machine, such as ODBC as mentioned previously. -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
