Hi again,

I was referring to the mysql database

I had a feeling that I wasn't being clear on my question.
When you start MySQL and issue a "Show databases;" command
MySQL shows you the actual databases that it is managing.
By default you get two; one called "test" and one called "MySQL" (which appears to be a control database for the entire MySQL DBMS).
After you do the jreciever setup, a new database called "jreceiver" is created. It contains all the information about the music collection, and some user information. So when you played with passwords, which database within the MySQL system did you use?

The reason I downloaded the new mysql was that I could never get the one included with SUSE to work.

Interesting. When you say you couldn't get it to work, what that you couldn't get MySQL to work at all or you couldn't get it to work with jreceiver?
I can get MySQL to work fine, just not with jreceiver.
I have no problem using the downloaded Java and MySQL, I just want to confirm that this is what my problem is, that the SuSE provided Java and MySQL don't work with jreceiver!

Cheers (and thanks again!),

Jim.
