Re: ODBC download problems

Mark,

I actually have Vista 64 bit Home Premium.  I went to the ODBC Database 
administrator and clicked Add under User DSN but did not have anything 
listed for a MySQL driver.  I had MS ODBC for Oracle and SQL server but not 
MySQL.

I may just be missing something.  I am not that technically savy, so I 
apologize if that is the case.

I really appreciate any feedback you could give to me.

Thank you,

Ryan Hunter
