Thank you, Jane, that's solved my problem by putting the user name and DB password in the config file, I can now access the database from phpmyadmin.    and

Putting your user and password into the config.inc.php is not very secure if your server is online, anyone going to the phpmyadmin folder on your domain can get access. If this is the case for you then i would password protect the directory.

That's great. I did say I was using it on a local test PC but should have stressed the security issues. Having said that, being able just to get into the thing is a start. I gave up on it umpteen times before it clicked and that was only after reading between the lines on the so-called help forums. I'm going to have to write this down so I don't forget it now 

Cheers

The forum does its magic again. Thanks, Jane.

Thanks, Paul, that thought did occur to me, so I've disable anonymous user on the directory security tab and set it to require Windows authentication in the IIs server properties for the folder.

Making PHP My Admin work the way you want it to work requires a computer science degree.

I hate setting it up and i'm a web developer!

I've got to agree with you there, Paul, I've been playing with the config file again and there's no way I can get it to login unless I set the auth_type to 'config'. I've got the directory tightened down now so that when you try to access it you get a Windows user name and password box come up and there's only one user allowed to access it.
