I was unable to get 3.51.17 to work with MS Access 2002. I installed it from
the msi bundle. The connector passes a test when creating or configuring a
System DSN, but when I try to link tables from MS Access I get an error
message:
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.1.22-standard]Access denied for user
'readonly'@'%' to database 'mysql' (#1044)
The same user with the same password has no trouble accessing the
appropriate database ('giiexpr_db') using the mysql CLI from the same
computer.

>
> Dear MySQL users,
>
> MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51.17, a new version of the ODBC driver for the
> MySQL database system, has been released. This release is the latest
> release of the 3.51 series and is suitable for use with any MySQL
> version including MySQL 4.1, 5.0, or 5.1.
>
> WARNING
>
> While we consider this a production release, we recommend caution in
> upgrading due to changes in our build procedures, and the
> large number
> of bug fixes that have gone into the most recent releases.
>
> The release is now available in source and binary form for a number of
> platforms from our download pages at
>
> http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html
>
> and mirror sites. Note that not all mirror sites may be up to
> date at this
> point in time, so if you can't find this version on some
> mirror, please try
> again later or choose another download site.
>
> We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug
> fixes, patches, etc.:

>
> Platform notes:
> * There are no binary packages for Microsoft Windows x64 Edition.
> * The Mac OS X binary packages are only provided as tarballs,
> there is no
> installer.
> * There is no binary package for Mac OS X on 64-bit PowerPC
> because Apple
> does not currently provide a 64-bit PowerPC version of iODBC.
> * The HP-UX 11.23 IA64 binary package does not include the
> GUI bits because
> of problems building Qt on that platform.
> * The binary packages for Sun Solaris are only provided as
> tarballs, not
> the PKG format.
>
> Changes since the last release:
>
> Functionality added or changed:
> * The setup library has been split into its own RPM
> package, to allow
> installing the driver itself with no GUI dependencies.
> * Added an option (CHARSET) for specifying the default character
> set for a connection. This must be used instead of a "SET NAMES"
> statement. Also available from the GUI setup dialog. (Related
> to Bug #6667 and Bug #9498.)
> * Dis-allow NULL ptr for null indicator when calling SQLGetData()
> if value is null. Now returns SQL_ERROR w/state 22002.
> * Fixed calling convention ptr and wrong free in myodbc3i, and fixed
> the null terminating (was only one, not two) when writing
> DSN to string.
>
> Bugs fixed:
> * myodbc3i did not correctly format driver info, which
> could cause the
> installation to fail. (Bug #29709)
> * Multiple result sets were not correctly flushed when a statement
> handle was closed. (Bug #16817)
> * SQLProcedures() did not handle NULL parameters, which
> could lead to
> crashes (Bug #28316)
> * SQLColumns() did not handle many of its parameters
> correctly, which
> could lead to incorrect results. The table name argument
> was not handled
> as a pattern value, and most arguments were not escaped
> correctly when
> they contained non-alphanumeric characters. (Bug #8860)
> * If there was more than one unique key on a table, the
> correct fields
> were not used in handling SQLSetPos(). (Bug #10563)
> * SQLColAttribute() returned the wrong value for
> SQL_DESC_BASE_COLUMN_NAME
> and SQL_DESC_BASE_TABLE_NAME for aliased fields. (Bug #6197)
> * Calling SQLGetDiagField with RecNumber 0,DiagIdentifier
> NOT 0 returns SQL_ERROR (Bug #16224)
> * Correctly return error if SQLBindCol is called with an
> invalid column
> * Fixed error handling of OOM and bad connections in
> catalog functions.
> This might raise errors in code paths that had not seen
> them in the past.
> Gathered the logic for internal result sets into one
> place. (Bug #26934)
> * Fixed bad use of memory related to setup/util/GUI. (Bug #27315)
> * Added a new DSN "OPTION" (FLAG_ZERO_DATE_TO_MIN) to
> retrieve XXXX-00-00
> dates as the minimum allowed ODBC date (XXXX-01-01). Added another
> option (FLAG_MIN_DATE_TO_ZERO) to mirror this but for
> bound parameters.
> FLAG_MIN_DATE_TO_ZERO only changes 0000-01-01 to
> 0000-00-00. (Bug #13766)
> * Fixed possible crash if SQLBindCol() was not called
> before SQLSetPos().
> Fixed use of MYSQL structure pertaining to updating large blobs in
> cursors. (Bug #10562)
>
> Enjoy!
