Hi Andy and thanks for your problem report. What happens if you "Set directory" prior to creating FileDSN? By default, "Verify connection" is chacked, did you provide full and correct connection string in "Advanced" window? Is MySQL server you are referring to running? If not, uncheck "Verify connection" and try again.

Hi Tonci,
I've tried what you suggested below but without success.
By "Full and correct connection string in "Advanced" window",
,for me this was set to: DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}
I think I managed to get somewhere using a previous odbc driver
( 3.51.06 ) but I dont know for certain. I seem no longer able to
re-install older driver versions, once 3.51.12 has been installed,
they keep showing up in the list as 3.51.12...
Best regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
>By "Full and correct connection string in "Advanced" window", for me this was set to: DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}
If so, did you uncheck "Verify connection" check box?

It doesn't matter what is written in DM, just check file versions for winsys32\myodbc3*.* files. If myodbc3.dll says 3.51.06, than it's 3.51.06
How big is your driver (in bytes)? It should be about 1.4-1.5 MB (can't remember exact size right now).

Hi Tonci, Actually, when I uncheck "Verify connection" check box the file dsn appears to get added ok. Then try to Configure I get "General Error: Invalid file dsn 'C:\audit\audit.dsn' Other information: I can link to an MySQL ODBC table in Access fine using Get External Data -> link tables -> ODBC databases -> Machine data source. This seems ok, its just if I try the (rarely used) File dsn source I get problems. The driver file size is approx. 1.5 MB myodbc3.dll dated 15/10/2005. Regards Andy

Andy, since I can't repeat it, we should try to narrow down the problem. 1) Please make sure File DSN is put into place windows search for it by default. Make sure your windows account has privileges to read/write in that place (C:\Program Files\Common Files\ODBC...). 2) Create paswordless root account for MySQL server (remember to remove it later) and try again. Please inform me of your findings.

Description: I recently upgraded my OBDC driver from (I think) 3.51.06 to 3.51.12. The problem is in trying to create a new File DSN in ODBC setup. I think this may be related to problems I've encountered with setting up a database connection. This code works fine with Access and SQL server: SQLHENV hEnv = SetupSiteDbApp::GetApp()->GetOdbcSession().GetEnvHandle(); // // Create a connection // SQLHDBC hConn = NULL; SQLRETURN nStatus = SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_DBC, hEnv, &hConn ); if ( !SQL_SUCCEEDED( nStatus ) ) { AfxMessageBox( IDS_ERROR_CREATEDBCONN, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION ); return false; } // // Create the DSN with user prompting // strFile = AUDIT_LOG_DSN_FILE; std::wstring strDsnPath = FileUtil::JoinPath( m_pSetupInfo->m_strLocation, strFile ); std::wstring strConn = StringPrintf( L"DRIVER={%s}; SAVEFILE=%s", m_pSetupInfo->m_strOdbcDriver.c_str(), strDsnPath.c_str() ); SQLWCHAR szConnOut[ MAX_CONNECT_STRING ]; SQLSMALLINT nCount; nStatus = SQLDriverConnect( hConn, m_hWnd, (SQLWCHAR *) strConn.c_str(), (SQLSMALLINT) strConn.length(), szConnOut, sizeof( szConnOut ) / sizeof( szConnOut[ 0 ] ), &nCount, SQL_DRIVER_PROMPT ); if ( !SQL_SUCCEEDED( nStatus ) ) { /* while ( SQLError( hEnv, hConn, hHstmt, sqlstate, &sqlcode, buffer, SQL_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH + 1, &length) == SQL_SUCCESS ) { printf("\n **** ERROR *****\n"); printf(" SQLSTATE: %s\n", sqlstate); printf("Native Error Code: %ld\n", sqlcode); printf("%s \n", buffer); }; */ AfxMessageBox( IDS_ERROR_CREATEDBCONN, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION ); SQLFreeHandle( SQL_HANDLE_DBC, hConn ); return false; } The third parameter passed to SQLDriverConnect() is "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SAVEFILE=C:\IndigoAudit\audit.dsn" Error info captured: error code: HY000 error string: "[MySQL][OBDC 3.51 Driver]Could not find driver {MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver} in system information." It's saying it can't find the driver but I know it is because it's listed as one of the ODBC drivers... Hope this information is understandable. Please ask if you need any other information or clarification. Andy How to repeat: To reproduce: 1. Install latest ODBC driver: MySql ODBC 3.51.12 2. In Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC) select the File DSN tab. 3. Select Add to create a new data source, select the MySql ODBC 3.51.12 Driver, click Next, give it a name (eg audit) and Finish. 4. Now click the Configure button for this data source just created. The error message was "General Error: Invalid file dsn 'C:\program Files\Common Files\ODBC\Data Sources\audit.dsn'"
