Hi Guys I am trying to make a connection to MySQL via odbc and have just gone through this tutorial http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/ODBC/page6.html But keep getting an error about not finding localhost. This is the right info so I am starting to head scratch! Any ideas Andrew --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
