[NTLUG:Discuss] ODBC to MySQL

[Bug Hunter]

  Its been years since I did that.  However, If I remember Correctly, the
myodbc driver available ont their site covered the basic instructions on
how to do that.  I followed them and got the driver working un under an
hour.  I did have a few false starts.

  Once you get the ODBC driver installed, you have to tell access to use
that driver.  I have not done that part before.
