What version of CF are you using?  It sounds like pre-MX.  The procedure you describe 
is for pre-MX boxes (the one where you make an odbc dsn outside of CF in the cpanel 
applet).

You can see things in mySQLFront because it doesn't care about ODBC.  Its querying the 
mySQL db directly.

You can use the username of 'root' with no password on a default install when making 
your odbc connection.  Thats the default user.  Certainly not something you want to 
leave on a live box, so don't forget to set up a user with proper permissions before 
going live!  I personally prefer creating the user and pwd in mySQLFront, then going 
into the table itself and granting/denying each permission from within the table 
itself.
