do you have mysql installed on your computer? If so try passing the ip address of your computer instead of localhost.

Try this one:

Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=myDataBase; User=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Option=3;

Change the variables to match yours.

if connection is successful. open the file in notepad and see the correct connection string.

Thanks

I tried this and the connection was not successful

 

by: efg-uaePosted on 2009-08-10 at 22:42:40ID: 25066389

It mean there can be following possible problems.

1. Login Credentials are wrong

2. MySql is not accepting the connection from localhost

for this need to run following commands in mysql

GRANT ALL  ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost'  IDENTIFIED BY 'newpassword';  

FLUSH PRIVILEGES

After that try to login with User root and new password.

Thanks
