Hi Caleb, I've been writing Euphoria apps that use MySQL (and SQLite) for a while now and can simply say that you won't need to go down the ODBC route really. Get the EuMySQL library from the archives and simply 'connect' to the ip address of the host - easy and fast. You'll probably want to modify the euMySQLlib a little to suit your needs (I had to!), but it does most of what's needed. Currently my major tool, under development, is a fully-fledged Content Management System for websites with MySQL (with PHP on the server) - Euphoria works very well for this. Using Matt's EuCOM wrapper for dropping an Internet Exploder preview window within your app is also useful for having immediate access to browser aspects. Altogether Euphoria combined with various of the many libraries out there gives a clean process for web-enabled tools. Cheers, Dave . .. : :: = == == = :: : .. .
