A note has been added to the 3.51.21 changelog: Not specifying a user in the DSN dialog would raise a warning even though the parameter is optional.
Description: Using the setup dialog for creating a DSN, leaving out the "User" field and hit "Ok" will give an error dialog "Missing User ID" (line 158 and/or line 208 in "MYODBCSetupDataSourceDialog.cpp"). But the help text says (line 128 in "MYODBCSetupDataSourceTab1.cpp") User The username used to connect to MySQL. Optional Yes (silently uses default) Default ODBC (Windows only - otherwise [empty]) Not sure which one is right, the default DSN created by the ODBC installer currently doesn't set the user name. A minor glitch is also that when the dialog is put into the background, the help text change to the default text when entering the dialog, when put in forground again, it is back to the current text. How to repeat: Run the "ODBC Administrator" on Mac OS X, and create a new DSN firing up the dialog (from the "libmyodbc3S" setup library). Suggested fix: Depending on what is correct or not, change the help text or the dialog input check.
