I use Lotus Approach on (Win XP) to open a text comma delimited file, then I save it as a dbf4 file. But tiimes are changing and files are getting too big for dbf4, so I want to have the unlimited power of mySQL to be able to open HUGE files..
I'm trying to get my Lotus Approach to be able to communicate with mySQL 3.51 driver.. mySQL 3.51 driver is installed (I see it listed in Approaches choices). I open a text file with Approach, and ask it to save it as mySQL 3.51. It says: MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) I hit ok and it takes me to the "mySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver - DSN Configuration", where it has the following dialog box: DSN INFO Data Source Name: myodbc3-test Description: MySQL ODBC 3.51 TEST DSN MySQL Connection Parameters Host/Server Name (or IP) - (DEFAULT - localhost) Database Name - (DEFAULT - test) User - (DEFAULT - root) Password - blank Port (if not 3306) - (DEFAULT - 3306) I just don't know what to do from here... does mySQL need to be "running" on my machine? if so, how do I do that? I have installed mysql-4.0.13-win.zip, and there is a folder on my C drive named mysql which contains files like my-huge, my-large, etc.. but nothing in "program files" to start or run.. so I'm pretty stuck, looking for the next move.. many thanks Russ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
