Connect Access 365 to Mysql connector problem (1 Viewer)

[TorsteinKrogh]

Hello. On the Mysql.com there is an article "6.4.3 Using Microsoft Access as a Front-end to Mysql". It does not work.
After installing the current ODBC driver, no Mysql option shows when I try to create an ODBC connection.

Which version of the MySQL docs are you looking at.

In most recent 8.4, the section you mention no longer exists:

Show us the code you are using and tell us where it fails.

There can be many points of failure, eg open ports on server, ODBC options and connection string, etc , etc ...

What version of MySQL Server are you using, and what version and bitness of MyODBC connector?

What bitness of Access are you using?

The more info you can give us, the easier it will be to get you going.
