The problem is much lower down than you are thinking-- I don't have any 
code.
IE in delphi (or dbisam) a *database* is just any directory.
a table is any dbisam table within that directory.(so simple)no user no 
password.
I simply create that table or those tables within that directory and 
point the components to it -- done.

Just what is supposed to go in these boxes ?

Type (I can Sellect) Ok----
What is Host? (  I have Tried http://localhost) to no effect
What is Database? (Is this simply a directory, and if so which one will 
work for mysql -- an so on)
I am not even sure if I need to specify myself as user or some linux 
default.
And can I use any password.( I imagine so )
very sorry ----
I did say I know *nothing* -- I cannot get the first toe in the water.

I am not having any trouble with most other things about Gambas, in fact 
it all appears to work great.

Thanks again.
