Hi everyone.
I have a MySQL database setup which is hosted on a remote server. I am trying to access that data from Excel. Excel is asking me for a server name, and any info I can find tells me to use localhost as the server name. My understanding is that local host will work if the excel document is processing on the system where the MySQL is setup but becuase my BD is hosted externally I'm unsure and unable to find what my 'server name' is that Excel is asking for.
I beleive I have the right information for User name and password, as this appears to be the same as what I would use if accessing the database with PHP running on that server.
If anyone can help me I would be really grateful.
Thank you
