I've just got my 'puter back from repair (at long last). Having decided not to practice what I preach (it'll never happen to me ) so that I didn't have backups of the hard disk that is now in electronics heaven (the bin) I 've lost a lot of good stuff.
I used to have software that enabled me to edit upload and download MySQL database tables hosted on a remote server. For the life of me I can't think what it was called.
Anyone got any recommendations for something that could do the trick?
Thanks, bu that I beleive needs stuff loaded on the website itself. A good solution no doubt, but the software I'm hoping for literally accessed the database from the desktop without needing anything on the server.
I've looked at MySQLcontrol Center but that soesnt seem to want to let me export the tables, as a backup, to my PC. I know I could use an ODBC add on to something like M$ Accesss, whcih might work. I woudl prefer the standalone solution I used to have

Well, yeah, you need to load the PHP somewhere (not nescessarily the same site though). You could run it off your desktop if you installed PHP locally, but it's a bit of a job.
I found what I was looking for after a few hours of googling. Software was called MySQL-Front. The freeware version is no longer officially available. Somebody does a shareware version. More googling found an older copy so I'm happy.
Now to make sure I back a copy up so next time my puter dies, I don't repeat this debacle

Ahh thanx for telling us mate. From the screenshots, and it doesn't look bad.
