If the database exists, verify the SQL database name, user name and password are correct in whatever script you are running. Should be in the begining of the script or in a separate config file. HTH.

I named the database oncall. The server is hotlead.net and the database name is oncall.

Do I use an underscore before the data base name?

eg.

oncall

or
_oncall

or

hotlead_oncall

thanks

No underscore is needed. Something like the following should work ...

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");
mysql_select_db("oncall",$db);
