[AccessD] Access to MySQL

Hi Jim
Thanks for your reply.
I've found one little glitch...on opening a form I had (in Access) a Where clause...WHERE tblClient.Deleted=No
Using MySQL this didn't evaluate and the client form was empty.
But changing the Where clause to...WHERE tblClient.Deleted=false seemed to work.

I guess its just a matter of going thru things bit by bit and changing what I need to.

Cheers Tracy

  Hi Tracy:

  It is pretty straight forward if you are using ODBC or better yet, ADO-OLE already to connect to the MBD BE. If not you will have to set up same. The SQL query syntax is a little different; more like MS SQL. (i.e.. % instead of * with the 'like' operand etc...). You can always direct you requests towards Arthur Fuller is apparent expert in MySQL or I can try and help.

  HTH

    Hi Listers
    Thought I'd ask:
    I've downloaded MySQL Ver 4.0.12 (Windows 2000)
    I'm starting to migrate my backend data file to MySQL.

    Does anybody have any tips for things to watch for ?

    I will be maintaining both Access and MySQL for a while (just in case)

    Cheers Tracy
