Ok I am about to go postal on this, not since watching AI have I been this ragged !!! what a waste of a weekend this has been trying to connect to MySQL through Delphi 6.

I am constantly getting the invalid username / password error from the TSQLConnection component in Delphi, even though I can clearly run / connect to the MySQL server from command prompts or Control Centre with the same logon info.

I have tried everything I can possibly think of including all the fixes listed in the post ;

http://dbforums.com/arch/118/2003/2/478152

to no avail, I have tried connecting to the following MySQL versions in order;


4.0.16
3.23.58
3.23.53

I have referenced libmySQL.dll as C:\mysql\bin\libmySQL.dll which causes no problems. I have Updated Delphi 6 with update 2 so I have and have referenced dbexpmysql.dll within my connection object and I have tried using the dbexpmy4.dll with ver 4.xx of MySQL.

Nothing works is there anything else I can test to get this going ?

Any suggestions are more than welcome before I go totally crazy with this. Is it supposed to be this difficult to connect to a database ???????

Thanks in advance.
