MyODBC & Access.

May 07, 2003, 03:05 pm

At work I'm setting up MyODBC for Access to connect to MySQL. We have a few projects that have some “fancy” printing requirements and since it's difficult to print consistently with HTML, we're going to use Access to print these reports. Also, our clients are more familiar with Access and will be able to make changes to the printable reports much easier than if they were trying to modify HTML documents.

The whole connecting part is pretty easy, but I've been having a huge pain trying install some service packs to Access and Windows. Jeez. What a pain in the ass!

And speaking of pains in the ass, I still hate Redhat.
