Actually, it's not if you use the dbsqlpassthrough option. It works just fine, and it's
backwards compatible with a lot more stuff.
Several of my clients mandate teh use of DAO because they have to suport legacy code, and
it's easier to support one technology than
3 or 4. I've had no trouble at all making it work with MySQL or any other database that
supports ODBC, except for the
aforementioned problem (which I fixed), and the MyODBC driver popping up on errors, even
though I specify option=16, but that's not
a DAO issue.
