    Connecting to Remote MySQL Server

    I have done some database programming with VB before, but up until now I have either created the DB locally with access or a similair program and changed it with VB or if I needed online interaction then I just programmed in PHP and kept it online. Neither of those are viable solutions for this project, I need to combine the two together. The database will be hosted on a server along with a website, and the program needs to be able to connect to that DB, retrieve information, and then write information to it. As of now for ease of programming all testing will be done locally, but will still use 127.0.0.1 to make it easier to change when it needs to be chagned. If anyone can give me a way to get started I would be greatful. I need to be able to connect to the DB (can I do that with the normal data control??) and then send and recieve SQL statements (I just need to know what command I need to send and recieve, the SQL I can work out on my own)

    Thank you,
    Eric



    Edit: I should mention I am using VB6

    It’s like ice but no pick, a murder charge that won’t stick,
    it’s like a whole other world where you can smell the food,
    but you can’t touch the silverware.
    Huh, what luck. Fascism you can vote for.
    Humph, isn’t that sweet?
