I think the queries are failing due to timeout on the server. The server is not dedicated to me and I may not be able to affect the timeout settings...though I'll ask my hosting company (Positive Internet). If I decide to do the queries on my local PC (I don't need or want to do them over the internet), (1) do I have to set up my PC as a server, Yes. (2) if so what's the quickest and easiest server to get started with, Install Apache, PHP and MySQL. There are countless tutes on the web on how to do so. It is a breeze under Windows 2000 (3) are there complications running the server on the same PC as the client applications (ie my PHP code), No, except maybe performance (4) do I then download MySQL and PHP onto it, though I read PHP comes bundled with MySQL, PHP has an API to MySQL, but you have to have first a MySQL server running (5) will it become clear to me what host name/IP address to use to connect to the database (up to now I've been told by the hosting company). You can use a dynamic DNS set-up (look for instance www.dnsmadeeasy.com) if you need a name-based address. Also a breeze to set up. Any other suggestions on timeouts on queries?
