Will revOpenDatabase work in a shared-hosting environment

[Andre Garzia]

Rob,

I'd try to connect using one of the available third party SQL clients  
from the net such as MacSQL or mySQLAdmin. If you can connect from  
such clients, then you'd be sure the problem is on Rev side or if you  
can't connect, then you'd better bug your ISP.
