Sorry to be dumb, have to start somewhere. Can MySQL run on a single PC and then expanded to others. Is it Internet based/only or what. When I downloaded the MySQL Frontend and MySQL, and loaded it on my pc I could not get it to run, and it tried to start up my internet connection. Can someone please give me a short overview of its use. Looking at using it as a server to hold database tables accessed by VB6. Thanks

Hi ZOR
Can't answer all your questions, but here is an easy way to install mysql on a Windows PC.
Download PHP Triad. It will install
MySql (DBMS)
PHP
Apache Webserver
Everything is installed under the c:\apache folder. Don't worry if you don't need PHP or Apache Webserver yet. The installer configures your Windows for MySql and even creates shortcuts to get MySql started. You must read the read me file, it tells you how start the MySql login etc.
After installation go to the mysql.com and check the online manual. Chapter 3 Tutorial Introduction is will get you up to speed. Also if you get the book "Managing & Using MySQL, Publischer O'Reilly" your other question will be answered.
