Hi Darren,


You need to have a bunch of things in place before the connection string,


(1) Mysql database installed on a server with users,database and firewall configured to allow port 3306.

(2) You'll then need the mysql connector installed on a station and know the public ip of the server. (5.1 appears to be the better version)


(3) The format of the connection string is a follows: (read sqlpassthrough for others)

MySQLstr="DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;"+;
"PORT=3306;DATABASE=somedatabase;USER=someuser;"+;
"PASSWORD=somepassword;OPTION=19;"

Note step 1 requires a bunch of other configurations as well so be prepared to read up....
