I am designing my own website. I want to add a message board forum to my site. My server provider gives me 50 MySql databases. I set up a database in Access but my Server Provider does not support .mdb files. Any ideas what I can do to get round this problem.

why the hell are you using access if you have 50 mysql db's ?

forums available to download come with pre-built mysql into them, all u need to do usually is configure the setup file.

have a look on www.hotscripts.com for freely available php forums.

My vote, is <b>phpBB</b>, but that's just because I'm used to skinning it, and using it. It's widely popular too.
