I've recently installed this GUI tool for MySQL; however, when I run it, it
needs information to connect to the server which is local (on my laptop
running Windows Vista Home Premium where the MySQL client is located also).
It asks for 'stored connection,' 'server host,' 'Username,' 'Password,' and
'Default Schema.' Nothing I try for these boxes works. I do not use a
password and I do not get prompted to provide a username when opening the
client directly. If anyone could provide some advice on how to connect when
the server is local I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks.

Your server host is most likely localhost
Your username is most likely root

These should be all you need to add

Thanks Paul but unfortunately that doesn't work either. I'm really stymied.

Yes - mysql is running but I still can't connect using the suggestions
provided and everything else I've tried. (I connect with no problem when
using the command line client). Still baffled but do appreciate the input.

What is the error message you get, exactly?

It is odd, but on the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon
in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to
find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics. --Feynman

Well I finally got it to work; I think what finally made the difference was
checking the "use named pipe" box and entering 'mysql.' The other entries
were localhost and root. Thanks again for all your . Now I have to
learn how to use this 'Query Browser.'
