MS Access to mySQL using myODBC

**sparky** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 19:01

I am trying to connect to a mySQL database on a webhost from MS Access on my desktop. I understand this is possible using myODBC.

Do you offer support for this? the host i'm on at the moment doesn't seem to allow it.

cheers

Could you please provide us some more information over here or through a support ticket with our Windows Dept as I am not able to lookup your account through the details filled up in your user account here

Yes, we'd be able to install MySQL ODBC drivers on our Windows shared hosting servers, so that you can connect to the MySQL database through it..

that's great. so i take it it's something i'd have to organise/ask for, not standard?

Right, MySQL ODBC drivers are not installed by default [ie. as a part of standard Windows installation].. but can be installed later within few mins once your account is setup on a specific server...
Ahh.. I almost forgot

to Eukhost !
