I am new to mySql so maybe I am missing something, but I cannot successfully create an ODBC connection which I must have to work with the MySql database in Crystal Reports.  I keep getting an Access Denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I do not have a problem using the mySql command line to start up mySql and use my database.  So why can't it connect via ODBC?  Using the command line I do not have to specify any userid or passwords.  It begins by prompting for a password and I simply hit enter without a typing any password.

Anywhere to look?  I have been exhaustively through the manual and haven't gained any ground.  I would be most appreciative of your help.

Thanks,

Nancy Joseph
