The dbBrowser sample app might help
(http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/samples/dbBrowser.html)  Just copy
how it connects to MySQL.

BTW, I've found the samples extremely helpful in PythonCard
development.  I'd reccomend looking at those frequently.

The samples should have been installed when you installed PythonCard.
Let the list know if you can't find them.
