Connecting to MySQL table

[smig]

How do I connect to MySQL table ?
Never worked with MySQL

Is it possible to temporary connect to the table or do I need to create a permanent connection?

Hi. Do you have the proper ODBC driver installed on your machine? Did you try using the External Data tab and try to link to the MySQL database using ODBC?

Hi. It would take me a while to explain it step-by-step. I think this website might do a better job at it. I hope it helps...

Hello, theDBguy
We are working on creating a MsAccess link to MySql, do you have any other research suggestions to look at?
