Re: [MySQL] RE: Question: Connecting MySQL with DreamWeaver MX on Windows 2000

yes i know that.  How? was my question.   I searched the directories for some sort of actual windows program but didn't see one, and didn't feel like going into EVERY directory.  See I have no idea where the executables should be because i'm new to the program.  Hiding it in a subdir doesn't help!    the Readme.__ files dont' say anything useful, and the manual.... have you seen how long that is?  The manual refers to shell access, do i have shell access to my own computer?  probably possible but not seeing exactly how, which is why i wondered if this was even possible (putting on my own computer etc).   when i looked under What is MySql?  it says " MySql is a powerful database tool blah blah.  MySql can do this and this and this...."    In other words, it basically says, "Here are 90,000 commands and detailed queries you won't need unless you actually figure out how to use the program on your own....."   I decided not to frustrate myself for 8 hours on this, but instead just to ask the knowledgeable and go from there!   Anyway, someone else has kindly answered my question.  I think this is just another program that once you get used to it you're fine and everything seems logical, but the first few steps are critical!   Thanks.   ~k   ----- Original Message ----- From: Ashley M.
