Saving / Modifying a ODBC connection.

I access a mySQL database through an ODBC connection (access 2000).

I do this by choosing File Open > Files of type: ODBC Databases.

Done this, i can access and query my SQL database. But, i don't find a
way to save this connection under a own name, as the "Save As" is
disabled. (Access is creating ODBCx.xxx files of it)

I also didn't found how to change the datasource later on...

Am i accessing the database in the right way, or is there a better way
of doing this ?

Thanks for all pointers and suggestions.

Stan
