Ted,

I'm using an older version of the MySQL ODBC driver in a limited

capacity against a MySQL database hosted on a 3rd party hosting site

(LunarPages). Within my limited scope (limited by my needs vs. limited

by MySQL capabilities) everything works great. BTW: My success in this

area due to the contributions of many on this forum including Ed Leafe,

Paul McNett, Bill Sanders and yourself.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop with your MySQL ODBC driver woes. If

there's something I can test for you in my environment feel free to

contact me off list and I'll give it a shot.

Malcolm

driver name"

Yup, been following a thread and adding my "Me, too!" to the

complaints. A MySQL employee just confirmed the problem, promised a fix

soon and suggested... dropping back a minor version. Great minds think

alike, I guess!
