Hi Caleb,

Yes, EMySQLib.ew is the one I was referring to.

As to the connect error, it could be that the host % (percent) is not set up on
the server MySQL database admin for that database.  The % host is one for all
hosts outside the supplied domains for prescribed users.

In other words, when you connect it looks for 
eg. user[caleb] on host[IP_address] for db[mydatabase]
where the host would be your machine's IP address (which on a dialup or adsl
might change whenever you connect!)
This problem means that a host set up at the server for % covers all IP
addresses and then only the Username and Password control the access.
Web pages using server-side scripting are considered as 'localhost' to MySQL on
that server, so they automatically get access.
For remote access the IP address is used and therefore you need the % option
configured.

That all sounds kinda complicated, but it isn't really - either use whatever
control panel application on your web server to manage your MySQL and set us the
Host % against your database or talk to your server managers to set it up for
you.

If there's anything else I can help with then please post a note or email me
directly.


Note to all Internet Exploder Non-Worshippers out there - can I join you :)

Cheers,
