>It is therefore necessary that you declare the user "lee" with his password for the mySQL version you are using user lee has all privileges set. I have no trouble logging into mysql from the wamp interface mysql console. so I take it using command prompt to log in will not work. OK. Any idea why the PHP doesn't work then to log in?

I've disabled all 'sql' and 'mysql' service except wamp. wampmysqld is started fine. the icon is green. I just can't type mysql at the command prompt. I had it in the path but removed it as instructed to do so by wamp. It is saying the command is not recognized. I can't connect to the server with PHP.

I'm getting Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: YES). The icon is green. I can log into everything fine.

The vc_redist 40784 is not compatiable with Vista SP1. Any suggestions? Locating the correct redist has served to be a head pounding event. To make a long story short, I am not getting a green icon yet. I'm sure this is going to be yet another maddening experience. There is so much to be said for being thorough. I will return today sometime, and hopefully someone can help. Thanks...
