Well, I solved this one myself. The Intrusion Protection System on my firewall was seeing the script tag in the packet sent to the MySQL server and killing it. DOH! No wonder no one is talking about the problem anywhere I could find. Well, it is easy enough to fix. Sometimes this stuff can be frustrating, but it always feels good to track down the problem. Thanks anyway, for the help. Eric

That should have said '5.0.62'. That was a typo, on my part. Anyway, it turns out that my firewall's intrusion detection system was the culprit. Thanks for the reply though. Eric
