Lawson,
I appreciate the help.
I had the driver installed on my old PC is there anything I can do to
transfer it and all the necessary files and registry over to my new pc?
Do you have any other ideas?
I don't know how else to connect to the mySQL database that I have on my web
host. It looks like the only MySQL ODBC driver they offer is the 3.51
version.
I would appreciate any help you could offer.
Thank you,
Ryan
