Hi Alex, Assuming that I understood your situation I'll make this suggestion. I'm not sure whether this option is supported in you PHP version but I think it'll be definitely available after (and with) 5.0. There are new function series called Sqlite (www.sqlite.org), an embded file based SQL

In that case, you could write a PHP script on your PC (Windows right?) that reads the data from the MDB file then posts the data to the MySQL database. Sounds easy enough. Hah (that phrase has bitten me on the backside more times than I can remember.. Challenges are fun though heh) -Tg > -O
