All you will need is a copy of MyODBC, which will let you register MySQL databases via ODBC.
You can find it on the MySQL website at: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-myodbc.html You may also want to download the latest Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) from: http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm Once you've installed the MyODBC drivers you can then register your MySQL database using the ODBC control panel app (found at 'Start / Settings / Control Panel' in Windows 9x and 'Start / Settings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools' in NT/2K/XP). -----Original Message----- From: James Mansfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: March 9, 2002 6:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-WIN] registering mySQl db in Win ODBC Am a little out of my league here being a designer and all...but I want to register a mySQL database that I have using ODBC Data Source Admin. Is this possible? I have created on online address book using PHP and mySQL. I want to use the email addresses in the db for use with a mailout program but it requires that the db I use be registered in the OS's data source admin. Does someone know what I need to do please? Have tried exporting the data etc but am trying to find any easier alternatives...can I use the db I have online or will I have to duplicate it locally??
