Re: mySQL Host access

Hi Lyn, Thanks for that info, that will certainly help me when I start looking into LC server. Unfortunately, I think I'm about 6 months into a 2-year contract with my current web host so probably could not switch at this point. On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 4:17 PM Lyn Teyla

Re: mySQL Host access

Hi Alex, You're probably right on the lc server issue (and thanks for the compliment). I already had a library of php db access scripts on my server which I've been using in batch cron jobson a nightly basis so the guts of what I needed to do was already in place, whereas I have never installed
