Gentelemen, I truly appreciate the input from both of you, but my problem persists.
When I attempted one of your solutions I got this
C:Documents and SettingsMario> C:mysqlbin>mysqldump database > \"C:myfolderexport.sql
The system cannot find the path specified.
Another attempt yielded this
C:Documents and SettingsMario>C:>cd mysqlbin
\'C:\' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
When I attempted to raise the mysql prompt (then I know I can do the dump) this is what I got:
C:Documents and SettingsMario> C:>cd mysqlbin
\'C:\' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
If you can provide further input I would in your debt.
Mario
