[AccessD] ODBC driver for Access 2019 to MySQL

[John Colby]

It appears that it was the bitness thing.  I did it over again with 32 bit
and I now see two MySQL odbc drivers, ansi and unicode.

I even created a DSN file.  Woohooo.  And I tested it successfully.
Amazing stuff.

However, where the hell is it?  I am trying to actually use the silly thing
and the DSN isn't showing up.  Does windows store them all together in some
secret location?
