What are you using to access the database? If you changed the name of your database user then you probably need to change the config in what ever scripts you are using that access the database.

If you renamed the user that was running your site, this will happpen.

Either modify the config file for the site or rename your mysql user back to what it was.

Thanks for everybodies help. I am a newbie. Sorry for the ignorance. I did find one config file that had the old username and I did rename it. However I still get an error. Is there more than one place to edit I am using osCommerce on my site and WS_FTP Pro as an FTP program to edit Once again, thanks.
