In that case find out what user you can log in as and use that and change the code. I don't think there is anything special about users in postgreSQL, except to keep track of who has what permissions and where they can connect from. If you are lucky there is one common connection include file so you only have to change it once instead of on every connection instance. If you still have trouble with users and connecting to the DB server you'll have to contact the server admins for help as this is server specific. brew ========================================================================== Strange Brew (brew@xxxxxxxxxxx) Check out my Musician's Online Database Exchange (The MODE Pages) http://www.TheMode.com ==========================================================================
