Hanging connections are usually due to the JDBC API being unable to establish contact, which is often down to a simple firewall or host naming issue. Also if you're referring to your local machine (localhost) by its network name (myserver.mynetwork.com) in JDBC then you need to make sure MySQL is listening for external connections as JDBC will appear to be coming from across the network, or change your JDBC connection to localhost or 127.0.0.1. I'm not sure what you mean by not allowing you to see or change the connection details? Do you mean the window just doesn't open? There is no code at all in MartEditor that blocks users from viewing or changing the information in the connection dialog. cheers, Richard Richard Holland wrote: > Preferences in MartEditor are stored using the Java Preferences API.
