MS Access - Windows ODBC with remote connection to Linux Database

Hi List. Please help... I've read up on this for days and days and I
feel like I'm missing something because other people have had so much
more successs than I have.

My Request is this:

Please describe to me any steps that I may be missing in my
installation / configuration / setup of MyODBC, MS Access 2003, ODBC DSN
in order to make the linking of my databases more successful.

I need to either link to or export some MS Access2003 Tables to a Linux
MySQL database. I've tried several times and in many different ways to
do so using MyODBC 3.51 and 5.0. connecting to a MySQL 5.0 database
(Currently running on my desktop CentOS4.3 box).

Using MyODBC 3.51 crashes Access to where it tells me it must shut down
and restart. This happens about 4 seconds after choosing the MyODBC 3.51
Resource to connect to.

Using MyODBC 5.0 works to a limited extent. Only small tables can be
linked to (less than 5 columns) and even then only with numeric and
varchar definitions... and no keys. I've managed to link 1 table with 9
columns... but that table was empty.


Again, My Request is:

Please describe to me any steps that I may be missing in my
installation / configuration / setup of MyODBC, MS Access 2003, ODBC DSN
in order to make the linking of my databases more successful.

Thank you all for any help,
Khalim

You need to downgrade one of your MDAC DLLs. Specifically, you need to
replace your current msjet40.dll with one of version 4.0.8618.0 or earlier.

See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=9932 for additional details and
suggestions.
