I assume that you mean in the Data Sources window/utility. You should verify
that the sample MySQL connection is there too. If it's not there, then you
may have an individual issue with the MyODBC installation process.

Well, here's one more for you - you can use a DSN-less connection. Take a
look at the function below:
<%
Function Get_Connection()
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open "uid=root;pwd=;driver={MySQL};server=localhost;database=db"
If Err.Number = 0 Then
Get_Connection = True
Else
Get_Connection = False
End If
End Function
%>
Obviously, this is ASP code, but you get the general idea for a VB
implementation.
Good Luck,
Dennis
