Um....sorry....that's not what I meant...

Oh..no, the host runs NT for us on our own server and as a reseller I've got more'n 100 clients up and running just fine.

IT's this dang mySQL learning curve that's got me stumped.

IF it was ACCESS, I'd simply upload the Access dbase which automatically includes it's tables -- no problem.

But as this is mySQL, do I NOT send the folder that exists at C:\mysql\data\cars on my box to the webhost? I assume that the complete folder with it's 6 files IS the whole dbase including the 2 tables...right?

So why won't this work? Can't my host -- any webhost -- just drop that folder into the server and have it work fine?

IN FACT...can't this procedure work for me all the time? IE create the dbase using mySQL-FRONT, then simply send the proper folder to the webhost for their dropping it into the server???

Shouldn't start a new thread for this ;)

Don't know if copying the files would work. never had the oportunity to try it. But normally, the host will create a db and give you a user and password, and then you can import your tables in it. It's just a dump and then browse to the file in phpmyadmin and have that file processed.

Hi...
sorry about that new thread thingy...got lost in all the windows I've got open....sigh.

So...does anyone know if this will work? The last thing I need now is to try to dump then upload or is it import....sigh....
