connecting to mysql in excel with new release 5.2

I just upgraded to MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.2 from 5.1 and now my db connections don't work as I have wrong driver text in my functions. I've gone to their site and Googled for it but I cannot find it. Does anyone know what the new driver string is?

This is the code I used successfully before, I need a new DRIVER string for version 5.2. Any help appreciated

Public Sub ConnectDB(server As String, user As String, password As String, Optional Database As String, Optional testmode As Boolean)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Set oConn = New ADODB.Connection
oConn.Open "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};" & _
"SERVER=" & server & ";" & _
"DATABASE=" & Database & ";" & _
"USER=" & user & ";" & _
"PASSWORD=" & password & ";" & _
"Option=3"


If testmode = True Then
MsgBox "Database Connection Test Successful!", vbInformation, "Success!"
'cmdInsertData.Enabled = True
End If
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, Err.Source
End Sub
