Thanks. I did download MySQL but the program I'm attempting to download does not recognize that server.

Like it's your first SQL adventure. Microsoft's old 2000 version is challenging enough but I'm left to guess what apps you are writing or using. Sorry but if I have to guess, I will probably guess badly.

Me? Just someone that writes a few frontends for MySQL apps. I can't guess where you are in your journey.

You say you downloaded MySQL. That's nice.

But did you actually install it? Do the services run? Can you make your own database either from the command line processor or from the GUI (Query browser)? As long as that doesn't work, any program wanting to create a database surely will fail.

My SQL

Yep it's installed, all 173 MB. Unfortunately I only have one program that requires the SQL server so I don't know how to check it to see if it runs. When I go to programs and click on mysql it take me to something called the Command Line Client. Clicking on that and I get a screen saying to enter a password. I don't have a password. Could that be why I can't run the mysql?
