In CF 4.5, all you have to do is use the Win2k ODBC Data Source Administrator, rather than the CF admin interface. First you have to have mySQL and myODBC properly installed (visit http://mysql.com for the win versions). Then install them. From there:
Settings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Data Sources (ODBC) Select System DSN and click Add. Select mySQL drivers from bottom of list. Then typically all you need to fill out are the first 5 fields. You may want to check 'use compressed protocol' for security's sake. Save. Then go into CF Administrator. You can see the dsn in there now. Adjust existing settings as desired. --------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc., www.mysecretbase.com --------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Rich Tretola [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 3:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: MySQL?
