Hi Peter,
I don't know why my other two posts didn't go through, I'll give it a little while and see if they populate, but although the driver is SQL Anywhere 12 I have some other info. Basically, Peter, I thanked you for pointing out that the ODBC was a connector and not a database type, and then included some more information to try and understand where I start with this.
I guess I am trying to create a connection between what appears to be a SQL Anywhere 12 Driven database that connects via an ODBC connection and a newly created MYSQL database we made on another computer on the network. The info I have to go off of at the moment is the connection string someone had created for excel and the database info I have been able to retrieve:
