Thanks HeinzWell I even went off this morning looking at 'other' solutions for this and it seems to be - Use Base or go and learn PHP or Ruby or something like that!!
So I got into Base again and found an interesting fact - Base had _NOT_ stored the link in it's Driver Class!! After a couple of re-tries it now seems to have done that and I can now get past the 'Test Class' stage OK!!!
The next screen is 'Authentication' - I enter the User Name and select "Test Connection" and I get
Communication Link Failure The last packet sent successfully to the Server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the Server.OK - Now I'm stuck again...... My Database (Schema) was called 'federals_Members.sql' when I first created it but last week I had to re-install my OpSys and to get it back into MyAdmin I had to import it and it's now there called 'Test'!! Neither of the above two file names make any difference to the error message.
Next the User Name - In My Admin it is 'root', when I set-up the Database I used 'Ianw' and my System login is 'Ianw' also. Again neither of these changes the error message.
To check I started MyAdmin and it connects fine with the Database and displays the table structure just fine.
So why wont Base connect to it???
