[NTLUG:Discuss] ODBC to MySQL

[Paul Ingendorf]

You have to define the DSN.  I just do it from the control panel ODBC Datasources.  You can create a system dsn for use on that machine or a file based one that you can move along with the driver to multiple machines.  Basically just go in there click the add button and fill in the appropriate blanks and you should be able to connect to it from access just like any other remote db.

Got the driver installed and Access sees it. Either I don't know where the 
datasource lives on the Linux box or I don't know how to tell Access to get 
to it.
