I think you should post the code and maybe read on this http://forums.x10hosting.com/programming-help/87394-how-ask-progamming-help.html

Otherwise maybe post in the code so people can look at the problem better.

ok thank you for the advices,
here is the code i use to connect the program with my local data base i installed using easyphp, and it works, this time i need to connect my program with my online database who is installed in x10hosting, i tried to put the ip adress of the server but it didn't work, maybe it's because of the php restrictions, i changed the setings, and i'm waiting them to take effects, (it may take 12 hours) i hope that's the solution

Public Const ConnnectionStr = "Database=proximad;Data Source=localhost;User Id=root;Password=;"
Public Function SeConnecter(ByRef Conn As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection) As Boolean
        On Error GoTo dberr
        ' Se connecter à la base MySQL
        Conn.ConnectionString = ConnnectionStr
        Conn.Open()
        ReconLoop = 0
        explorerFrm.ReconTimer.Enabled = False
        Return True
        Exit Function

Edit:
HI,
i recieved an email that tell's me that my hosting account's version of PHP has been updated to version 2 successfully, unfortunally it still doesn't work, here is the code i used to connect to my database!

Public Const ConnnectionStr = "Database=proximad_proximad;Data Source=67.228.161.42;User Id=proximad_imad;Password=*******;"

here is the error i recieved:

Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.

thank u fot your help
