Many thanks. You filled in the missing piece for me. It appears to be working... at least with both databases on the same MySql server. I hope that putting one db on the file server and one locally does not prove to be problematic (that issue never occurred to me), but if worse comes to worse, I could put a "local" db for each machine on the file server. Obviously, this would not be a great solution, but it would probably work out ok if I have to go that route.
In any case, you have helped me a great deal here. I appreciate it very, very much. I have a lot of work ahead of me getting these two applications ported over to MySql, but you've gotten me started! Many thanks again.
