The other advantage of this is that is will more closley emulate the setup here at Xisto.If you still want to use MySQL with ISS, as long as you use PHP to do all the database programming it should work ok since it is setup from install for use with MySQL (well PHP4 and above is) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
