Is there a registration issue? When I've seen ODBC work in the

Administrator but not in the app it turned the driver was not fully

registered.

Subject: VFP to MySQL 4.1.8 via MyODBC: "Could not determine the driver

name"

Just installed a new LAMP box with MySQL 4.1.8 and also upgraded my

Windows XP client to the latest MyODBC 3.51.10.00 and I'm having

trouble connecting the two. Setting up a DSN in the ODBC administrator

passes the "Test" button test. Attempting to connect from another

application - xCase or VFP - throws an error "[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]

Could not determine the driver name so could not lookup setup library"

and error HY000, the general error. Has anyone seen this and know of a

fix?

A Google didn't produce any clues. There's a similar post from someone

using Access posted last week:

http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?37,10223,10223. No replies, though.

Cross-posting to ProFox and ProLinux as I'm not sure if this is a

client or server issue.

Telnet is displaying the server responding on the IP address, so it's

not a firewall issue.
