I'm trying to transfer an existing solution that works fine from a Windows XP machine to a Windows 7 machine. FMP 9 (one of a 5-seat licence bought by the non-profit organisation) is acting as a front-end to a MySQL database hosted on a remote server.

I replicated the installation I'd originally made on the user's old XP machine and everything seemed Ok until I came to install the ODBC drivers for MySQL. The installer seemed to work OK, but when I opened the ODBC section of the Administrative Tools in the Control Panel I couldn't see the MySQL driver that had (I thought) just been installed.

Anyone know if I need some different driver for Windows 7? The one I installed from is called:

mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.5-win32.msi

Any advice appreciated - I'm basically a Mac person, so don't assume I know too much about Windows!

regards

Rowland
