Hi, thanks for the help. I had removed the ";" but had not moved the libmysql.dll to the C:\windows\system32 directory. Also found in the manual that MySQL is not "included by default" in MySQL 5.0.0 and hence you need to include the extension.
All working hunky dory now. thanks again to those who helped.
