Aha - right, yes, having done the trick with OLD_PASSWORD, I can get the ByteFX driver to work fine. So I switched the app to use that, rather than the one from MySql, and the app now works fine with Mono 1.1.8 under XP. So thank you, Martin, Bill and Dilton. I'm a bit twitchy about deploying something that's called 'unsupported' rather than the 'official' one ... but hey, with a bit of luck the 'official' one will work under Mono again soon (in fact, now that 1.1.8 has got a DevStudio solution for building Mono on Windows, I might even try to figure out what the problem is myself).
Thanks all.
