Are you the same person as "Fruach" in the friends of ED forum? If so,
let's keep everything in the same place over there.

Thanks for replying, I know it all seems a little odd, hence my frustration. I click on the "+" button within the Bindings tab, which opens the drop down box and then I click on the Recordset (Query) option, and then nothing happens, i.e. no Recordset dialog box opens up, which I just find weird.

I can see my tables and Fields in the Database window fine and the test connection comes back as successful. I can send screenshots if that would help.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I am really looking forward to starting PHP, no honest I am, I just can not get past the first hurdle.

Well your message is a little abrupt on the details and I've no idea your familiarity with what you're doing, but I'll give an outline of what I hope helps.

When you click the Server Behaviors Tab (or Bindings) click the "+" and "Recordset (query)" is the first item on the context menu. Click that and DW will open a dialog for you to create you recordset. (The SQL is all you) After you've outlined the name, connection, SQL query (if you're unsure about the SQL click "test" to see if you're getting the nfo you want), then click OK. Once you've done that then the RS will be listed in the bindings panel and you can pull things out of it into you page.

Good luck! It's fun once you get it all working--until then it sucks.
