Hi tedd, if you have FTP access you could create the file and chmod it to be able to write from the mysql query

That sounds good, but I've tried it.

There are two things wrong here.

One is that while *I* (my script) can establish FTP access to the account and create/write a file, that does not also mean that MySQL (even under the direction of my script) can create a file. Apparently MySQL requires additional permissions for the user to be able to do that.

Two, MySQL requires that the file to be written to can not exist. In other words, the OUTPUT file must be created by the OUTPUT query and the file cannot exist beforehand. This is so that MySQL will not overwrite existing files.

Many thanks for your time.

Cheers,

tedd
