RE: MySQL and MSAccess
Haven't done a great deal of this but it does work pretty well. Obviously connection speed is a bit of an issue especially where you are dealing with INSERTS into several linked tables from a form. I couldn't find an equivalent field in MySQL for the Yes/No type in Access so it you create an a 2 character INT field and populate it with either 0 (no) or -1 (Yes) then you can get them to work quite well. I'm sure that some guru will have a better idea than that! What sort of stuff are you doing?

Re: MySQL and MSAccess
Hi Chris, Also interested in exploring how MS products can interact with MySQL since I work in a diverse environment (PC's, some MACs, UNIX clusters-Solaris 8). I found this so far: http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/y/MyODBC_clients.html Also, to check which version of MDAC you have use: Component Checker http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm#CCinfo That's all I have I'm fairly new to most of this... I'm hoping other list members have more to say. ;) Regards, -Ryan On Mon, 11 Mar 2002, Chris Becker wrote: Is anyone out there using MySQL on either Unix or NT, with MSAccess as the front-end? Are you using odbc bound controls on your access forms? Any issues? Suggestions? In-sights? We are planning on migrating a SQLServer back-end to MySQL on Linux as a robust and affordable back office solution. Thanks in advance.
