[dba-Tech] MySQL gurus

[John R Bartow]

I just found the problem. I had the MySQL ODBC System DSN set up via the
default ODBC admininistrator. I needed to use the 32 bit ODBC System
Administrator which is not shown in the control panel but is in the
\Windows\sysWOW64 folder.

Made a shortcut to it for myself so I don't forget in the future!

Now all works like a charm.
Thanks!

John,

Although I don't have Access 2013, and can't verify it, but I see no reason
at all why you shouldn't be able to connect. I just whipped up a test
connection from Access 2007 via MySQL Connector to a MariaDB database and it
worked fine.

Incidentally, although this was not asked for, I thought I'd give a
shameless plug to a firm called BullZip, that gives away several utilities
that I find enormously useful. They include AccessToMySQL, AccessToPostgres,
and AccessToSQLServer. There's no simpler way to port your Access data to
any of these platforms. Best of all, these tools are free. See Bullzip Tools
