I have just got round to trying MySQL and I forgot to set MySQL service to start with windows boot up. When I started WD and it started wdmysql ofcourse it could not logon to the database as the service was down. However wdmysql did not raise any external alert popup, I only noticed it was not recording when I tried to logon myself with the MySQL Query browser. Could you modify wdmysql to popup an alert window when it starts if the logon fails rather than just sitting there minimised doing nothing?
