Hi, I have a vb application which connects to mysql via ado/myodbc 3.51.03. In it, users can choose to connect to databases on different machines. I construct a connection string from the hostname, database etc. So far so good.
The problem I have only occurs (as far as I can tell) on Windows XP, not Windows 2000: If I try and connect to a host where mysql is not running, the driver (or at least I assume its the driver), pops up an error message box, saying [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver] Can't connect to MySQL server on 'hostname' (10061), then after clicking ok, the DSN Configuration Dialog is opened, but hidden behind the application window. In contrast, on Windows 2000, no error message box or dsn dialog appears at all (which I prefer). I can't find any difference between the two machines except that the 2000 machine also has myodbc 2.5 installed, but not used. ANY help appreciated! ian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
