hi all
loving this ultradev proggy seems like the logical progression afters a few years with static dreamweaver.

Thing is databases, ive been told by my hosting company that they dont offer ODBC options but they offer mysql online so can i link to this databse via ultradev or do i have to look elsewhere for hosting??

thanks

James

ODBC is a Microsoft manner in which they link to databases. Ask this question of your hosting company, do they support ASP or JSP or CF pages. Additionally, as with my hosting company you establish a DSN connection and not a ODBC connection. The company I use hosts using either UNIX or WIN2000 operating systems.... My guess is if they offer MYSQL access they offer database connectivity.
