Hi,

Does anyone have an example of a front end made in access with MYSQL backend that they would like to share?

Any help will be very much appreciated. A link to a good tutorial will be excellent.

Thanks,
B

No examples, but it's turning out to be easier than I thought to do...

The key is to go to the www.mysql.com page and download the ODBC driver. Once you do that you can set up your tables in mySQL (which is not too bad at all with a decent knowledge of databases). From there you can link the tables using ODBC and "use" the tables.

I'm just getting started myself, but it's not nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

Good luck!
