I was wondering if you all could make a suggestion or point me to a reference to help me out here. I realize that mySQL site probably has some information, but I wasn't sure if it had some this simple. I have installed mySQL on a Win2K box (yeah, I know - yuck) and the default install seemed to install it as a "password-less" version. I'm having difficulty setting up the database via MyODBC and getting the DSN to work right. Is there a good reference you all use for any of this from the Linux platform that I might look at to modify for use on this box? I know very little about ODBC other than the fact that setting up a DSN will allow other 'puters to grab data from it. Any suggestions on where I can find some good documentation? Thanks, Chris
