Have you asked your host to create a database for you or to set up a username and password for you to create your own?

That's what I thinking about. Those guy won't reply your email if you ask some newbie questions. :( So I want to get some ideas from you guys see if it is their problem. Now I think it is.
Thanks Mac. I will ask them. :wink:
