I designed my site using an MS Access database. But my site will be hosted on a Linux server. So I must use a MySql database. The hosting company has a utility to convert from Access to Sql. I have absolutely no knowledge of MySql. If I convert the database, what changes do I need to make to my ASP pages in dreamweaver? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. I've decided to just redo my database in MySql. Since I've already done so much of the site in ASP, and since I don't know anything about PHP, I guess I'll just see what happens when I upload my site. Thanks. Ben

As far as I know anyhow - I know there are some ASP modules for Apache servers. But I have not had very much luck with them - havnt tried Chilisoft though. "I like a man who grins when he fights."

Chilisoft is what this server is running. It's through webmasters.com. This is my first foray into a database driven site, so it's kinda like learn as I go. Thanks for the help. Ben
