Great idea, dta. Looked in the Registry and all looked well. Rebooted

the machine and it started working better. Got a new error, "Access

Denied," which is just an authentication issue. Gotta review my GRANT

commands to see if I missed something. Also, the MySQL 4.1.x uses a new

password encryption technique on the server, which I've heard can cause

some problems with older drivers, particularly with PHP. Will continue

to plug at it.

Thanks for the suggestion.
