But I maintain the databases myself using Navicat. I don't see what they would have to do anything, unless it's permissions setting or something. A one-time setup fee, if they have to actually do something, would be acceptable, but not $5 per month per database...
And you're right... encouraging people to use Access is not wise.

Well, I think the issue with Access being free while additional MySQL databases are not could be even more of an issue. Ever seen a site try to run on Access and suddenly get a lot of traffic due to a mailing to their customers? It's not pretty, and the last thing you should do is have a policy that encourages use of Access. But regardless, it does seem like they could just charge a one-time setup fee for their time to create additional databases and just base your usage on disk space instead. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:289302 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
