Morning all, I'm trying to access the backend MySQL Moodle data through a DSN so I can interrogate it in Access, and am coming up against a rather annoying problem. I can happily set the DSN up as a System DSN, but I want to do it as a file (like I have for the other 4 database types I'm connecting to!). Has anyone ever set up a file DSN to connect to MySQL? The Moodle & MySQL webpages rather unhelpfully suggested I give it up and not try :? Cheers all, Mike

Hi all, I'm another Sophos/Register-induced newbie! Been working in Colleges in London for 7 years programming data management thingies in MS Access (I know, I know, but one day I'll get round to learning a proper skill!). Currently trying to avoid getting sucked into WBL...
