You want to link a schema in MySQL to a Table in Access? I'm not sure that makes sense.

Sorry my mistake, i meant a table. Ive not dealt with MySQL or Workbench before so its a bit of a learning curve for me at the moment. The issue i have is for eg if i want to import external data and link that data to a table in access from lets say a excel file it is quite easy point to the file and its done. Where as when i try but use a sql connection instead i navigate to the folder where i have created the database in MySQL and i have a .mwb file and a mwb.bak file. neither if which will link to a table. Hope that explains myself better

Ah. So you simply want to link to a MySQL table from an Access database.

I haven't used MySQL myself, but when I linked to SQL Server I found that I had to select the ODBC () option to do it. Then, assuming you have the relevant drivers installed on your system, you will be in a position to select the one for MySQL and import your tables from your MySQL server.

I hope that helps.
