mySQL source not showing in ODBC sources list

Hi all

I am new to this stuff - I googled and I did not find a solution to this - sorry if this is basic...

Then I start MS Access and I try to link a table using ODBC, the mySQL source does not appear in the list. But when I go back to windows, it is there. I tried to restart the whole system, nothing changed.

------
This is the detailed story :
I juste installed MySQL on my PC (win 7 64 bits). The ODBC driver was not installed with the installer (404 error, I tried 4 times), I installed it myself from the mySQL original site. I checked that I have the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package" installed. I have it with x86 and x64 versions.

I could create the link to my mySQL database with windows 7, under "admin tools / configure ODBC sources". The clic on the "Test" button showed "Connection successful" and the source appears in the list. Good so far ! :)

When I go back to Access, the source does not show in the ODBC sources list.

Did I miss something ? I saw some possible issues between 32 and 64 bits in the forums but the ODBC installer is choosing its installation automatically and I followed the steps... I also read about corrupted registry entries but I did not find any here.

Does someone have a clue ? thanks for you help ! :)
