Hi
is there anybody on this forum that uses
mySQL with ASP/Ultradev ?

I could use some help
connecting to the database, etc ...

I have just completed this, what do you need to know?

I use mySql and Ultradev in ASP environment

Hi,

I use (or I am trying to use) a mySQL
database and ASP on a host that is not
really willing to install myODBC (this
bit of info I mailed him after figuring it out)

Is there another way to get this show on the
road, preferably in the right direction :-)

Maybe a DSN-less connection ?

I was trying to do the same thing, as my ISP was not really willing to change tyhe DSN they had set up for my Access catalogue, into a mySQL driver based DSN. What I ended up doing was having to call a manager and complain that this was standard to the industry,and I was going to find another provider if they haven't changed it. So to answer your question, I udes a DSN in the end, becasue it was set up for me. If your host absolutely will not try to install myODBC (and it doesn't make sense why they wouldn't) then loo for another provider. If you arent in a posistion to change providers, then you might try connecting through a connection string, but I don't know what the drivers would be. Sorry I can't help more.

Walk through this tutorial on devshed.com and some things will get more clear on how to use mysql/access to insert/update data.
