Hello,

just wanted to point something out.

I downloaded the mySQL version of the forum, and as I was trying to run the mySQL setup file I ran into some issues.

I quickly found the variable "strMyODBCDriver" and changed the value to "5.1" to match my driver installed.

But the database setup page was still failing. ... eventually I found line 195 of mySQL_server_setup.asp :

strCon = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=" & strSQLServerName & ";

and of course noticed the "strMyODBCDriver" variable wasn't in use in this location.

so I just changed the 3.51 to "5.1" and it all worked.

I imaging the following will work too :
strCon = "Driver={MySQL ODBC " & strMyODBCDriver & "........

ta
