Hi Guillaume,


Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, being a complete novice to this
kind of thing I don't understand of what you typed. I did install mysql,
launched mysql.exe and typed "use <db name>" but all I got was this:
"ERROR 1044 <42000>: Access denied for user ' ' @' localhost' to database"

More generally I'm not really comfortable with all this to be honest...

Any more advice maybe?


Regards,
Bertrand
