Good Day, Doug.
Let me some note.
DSN is just link to some database.
System, User and File DSN difference is the database link storage.
System - Locale machine registry tree, User - current user registry tree,
File - file
I have installed MyODBC 2.50.21. There are no problem on Access 97 SR-2
So, DSN is database link.
Thats why you have to create MySQL database first. What DB wish you link to
access?
