Hi Bill
On running the addform script, do you get any error messages?
It sorta looks OK to me, but one thing I suspect is that you don't have
your mysql privileges correct.
Check the mysql documentation on the keyword 'GRANT'. This may solve
the problem of not being able to use a password, and may also solve the
other problems.
Come back to us if this doesn't work.
