Lower case MySQL table names on Windows Server 2003....

Hi,

I currently administer our MySQL db version 3.23.56 on a Linux Cobalt
Qube server via an external fron-end piece of software.
My Table Names have capital letters at the beginning, i.e.
StockMovements, OrderLines.....

We are now implementing a cross-over to a Windows Server 2003 machine.
I have installed MySQL version 4.0.20a and initially it was stated as
4.0.20a-debug. I managed to find another piece of software to take it
out of debug mode as I thought this would help with the table names.
The version is now 4.0.20a-max.

If I rename the imported tables say from orderlines to OrderLines, it
stays, but if I refresh or close/re-open my fron-end, all the table
names have reverted back to lower case ?

I have lots of .asp apps which are currently working of my Linux MySQL
db using Capitals in the table names and fields. Obviously I do not
wish to start re-coding all my web pages once I move accross to
Windoes Server 2003

Please can anyone shed some light on this issue ?

Thanks

David
