Thanks for your reply Alex!

As you replied in the forum I go on here - still no sure if it is or not
'off topic'...

Indeed that was the problem! I used SQL server driver that comes with XP and
it is meant for the MS SQL server...
Setup the MySql driver. OK (still some problem for accessing the remote
server - but I guess it is a port problem)

I mean if I put my RunRev application on a machine that is not running the
MySql driver, it will not work. I have to distribute the driver with the
application? ... :-(
