Problems accessing a MySQL database using an Access linked table

[James Bird]

Hello

In order to perform a hetrogeneous join (I think that's what they're called)
between MySQL and another database, I've created an Access database
containing linked tables from each datasource.

I create the linked tables without any problems, clicking on "save password"
before selecting the desired tables. I can then access both tables fine from
within the Access GUI.

The problem starts when I then try to access this data from my ASP.NET web
application - classic ASP works fine but .NET gives me...

ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] ODBC--connection to
'MyDSN' failed.

From then on, the Access database remains locked (.LDB file in the same
directory) and I get a similar error when I run my ASP page, which
previously worked.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Hi James, perhaps another approach would be to load up the 2 tables
separately into separate datatable objects then join them with a
datarelation - I've not tried it tho'
