Thanks for the stacks - I picked them up and tried them with no luck: I get a Rev error of (60) saying Rev can't connect to the MySQL server. However, MySQL is happily serving tot he web just fine. I used the MySQL root password and the user password, with the same result. It is possible that the port that MySQL works through, 3306, is blocked by the firewall, so I'll just have to get it opened and see if things work better.
If it's the firewall that's stopping things then I'll report back. One other point (this addressed to Rev authors) is that finding out about the use of the MySQL commands would have been a lot easier if they had been documented as a group rather than individually.

Hi Howard,
localhost is what you use if the MySQL server is running on your own computer. If it is on a remote computer, then you need to know the IP address. You shouldn't need to use sockets directly. Rev handles all that stuff for you in the database routines.
Have a look at the 2 MySQL stacks available on my web site. I have used them to connect to local and remote servers without any problems.
