Hey-

Well as I understand it, the newer version of MySQL lets you have different language support and therefore different ways to compare strings. So when I setup my database I chose latin1, but when I made a new column using the .NET connector it made it as utf8 by default. Then when I tried to do an update it was trying to compare latin1 & utf8 strings and couldn't.

However, I'm not sure why you would get the error you are getting with those lines.

Also Reggie Burnett appears to know a whole lot more about this then me. Apparently he is involved in writing the .NET connector, and as we all know; those who code it know it best...

BTW, thanks Reggie, or whom ever created the .NET connector. I'm really blown away at how simple these things are... once I got the whole latin1 thing worked out ;-)

Bill-
