Going back to this note from last week, I hear your pain, Clint, about how some java-based tools can leave one hanging if not familiar with its ins and outs. Shame on the vendor for leaving you to figure this out, let alone then have to write it up yourself to show people how to use their tool. :-) That said, and FWIW, I'd add that if the JAVA command would run from your command line, then it seems likely that you could just have double-clicked the jar file in your windows explorer (my computer) while viewing your desktop (or wherever one had saved it), or perhaps at least only have to right-click it and choose "java" for "open with". Hope that helps someone. /charlie

I'm not very familiar with these Window Java JAR installations, so for those Windows users needing help: Download the .jar install file: squirrel-sql-2.6.1-install.jar to your desktop. Open command window: Start->Run type: cmd then click OK. Charge directory to where you saved the file: cd /d C:\Documents and Settings\...............\Desktop *Use dir to see alist of files if you want to make sure it is there.* Then type in: java -jar squirrel-sql-2.6.1-install.jar This will start the installer and will install the application, just follow the directions. I'm trying it out now and will let you know if its what I wanted.
