Hi Dominique<br>Thank you for that - your diagnosis is spot on - I've just spent most of this evening digging around and it turns out that at PHP 5, which just happened to be where my brush with it started from they stopped automatically installing the MySQL extensions
<br><br>Just my luck that the canned writeup for a WAMP install that I found on the internet at the start of this project back in May just happened to be for PHP 4! <br><br>Thank you for your help<br>-- <br>Mike Moller<br>
