Hello everyone, I am hoping someone could help me with this sort of complicated problem.

I am thinking about signing up with Powweb for 5 of my up coming sites. These sites make up a network of offerings from my company. One thing I am very concernd with is a centralized membership database, meaning they could sign in on anyone of the sites, and keep there information with them through out the network of sites. I know this is possible from a coding standpoint, so here is my question...

I am wondering if anyone knows if I would be able to access my Powweb MySQL database from another site on Powweb's servers. For example, one of my sites will be called MarchingMagazine.com, and another would be Bandaholics.com. I am wondering if I would be able to retrieve information from MarchingMagazine.com from the Bandoholics.com site?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Yes, you can access your MySQL database from any of your other sites. I know because I had this same question (http://forum.powweb.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1355 ) :D
