Thanks Gary but my problem is this.
This is the first time am using MySQL, I have been using ms Access and already I have working applications split into back end for data and front end for forms and reports,code and queries.
To start with I have just installed MySQL which I downloaded.I also downloaded the driver and I have it already installed.
This is what am doing and am getting errors.
1. When I get to MySQL Connector/ODBC Data Source configuration Form, I enter a Data Source Name.In this case lets say my name is Products
2. On the server textbox I enter MySQL.
3. Problem starts when entering the user. When installing I din,t create any users so am confused.But I have a password.
4. Then there is a field thats requires database which is a combo box. Sice I have not created any database what am I supposed to fill here.

Also when I click on the test button I get an error
"Connection Failed: Unknown MySQL Server Host".

If I could get help configuring this thing I will be very glad.
Am also reading on it on the net but I don't see where the steps are well explained.
Thanks.
