A little problem with EQ Items Database Editor

[WillowyLady]

I have encounter a little problem, when attempting to run C:\eqitems\eqitems.exe, the following message pops up:-

MYSQL Connection FAILED!- Check db.ini and did you install my OBDC drivers?

ocx_register.bat looks like this:~

==================================================
regsvr32 DXAnimatedGIF.ocx
regsvr32 a.ocx
regsvr32 msdxm.ocx
regsvr32 MSCOMCTL.OCX
regsvr32 MSINET.OCX
regsvr32 MSDATGRD.OCX
==================================================

when run outputs:-

==================================================
c:\eqitems\resources>register_ocx.bat

c:\eqitems\resources>regsvr32 DXAnimatedGIF.ocx

c:\eqitems\resources>regsvr32 a.ocx

c:\eqitems\resources>regsvr32 msdxm.ocx

c:\eqitems\resources>regsvr32 MSCOMCTL.OCX

c:\eqitems\resources>regsvr32 MSINET.OCX

c:\eqitems\resources>regsvr32 MSDATGRD.OCX
==================================================

Each had a sucessful popup.

So on the surface of thing, the OBDC aspect appears to be OK.

Now, looking at DB.ini.

==================================================
host=127.0.0.1
user=?
password=?
database=c:\peq_db
everquest_folder=e:\EverQuest
==================================================


This is the bit that has thrown me a little and could possibly the be the cause of the error.

I am unsure of what to put in certain fields. Does the user / pass relate to something else that is installed, or can I bung in anything?

I am uncertain if the path to db is correct. In my lashup c:\peq_db is the folder that contains:-

==================================================

In the meantime...I'll poke around a bit. Might get lucky!

I am most likely overlooking the blindly obvious, if some kindly soul could provide a little pointer in the correct direction, it would be very welcome.

Many thanks.
