Bug #16009 SHOW TABLES via ODBC to Mysql v 5.0

Description:
I use myODBC driver to access mySql from my application (it is written to xBase++)

When i use "SHOW TABLES;" statement it works ok with mySql 4.
When i use the same statement with mySQL 5.00 it returns an error <mybase>.table_names table doesn't exists. 

How to repeat:
If you Use MS-Access and try to import from a mySql5.00 data Base then the list of tables doesn't appears (i think it is the same problem).

I was unable to repeat using the ODBC tool called odbcte32:

Full Connect(Default)

Env. Attr. SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION set to SQL_OV_ODBC3

Successfully connected to DSN 'dbtest'.
SQLExecDirect:	In:hstmt = 0x003B1B50, szSqlStr = "select version()", 
cbSqlStr = -3

cbSqlStr = -3

Could you please verify if your DSN have a database selected when
connecting or issue the command use db_name before to issue the
show table command.

The DSN have a selected data Base. 
When I use the same DSN to another mySQL server (V 4.1) it works ok. 
When I use with it with mySQL 5.0 Server it creates the error. 
Is there anything i must do care to Server Installation?

The command show tables works as expected when using the
command client mysql ?

It works. 
Thanks for your help. 
I changed the flags setting to ODBC driver and it works. 
It needs different settings for mySql 5.00 than mySql 4.1

I think that the problem was the flag "Ignore # in table name". When I uncheck it, it works ok with mySql 5.00. 

Thanks again for help.

Thanks a lot.
I had the same problem using MySql 5.5
The solution proposed here works in my case too.
