Getting rid of the failed setups in MyODBC driver?

Anyone with any experience with MyODBC 3.51 linking MySQL tables to MS
Access 97 please tell me how I can clear the miscellaneous, failed
setup attempts from under the Machine Data Source tab on the Select
Data Source window?

Everytime I clicked "NEW", trying variations of configuration options
in hopes of making it work resulted in a new Machine Data Source being
set up. Now I have to look at all the failed ones along with the one
successful configuration everytime I use it to renew my attachments.
Ideas on how to get rid of 'em?

I'm quite frustrated with looking at them.

Access 97 - wow! You are at least using Windows 98 or higher, aren't you?

Hard to believe you don't have a [Remove] button on your ODBC dialog -
Machine Data Source tab. But if this is truly the case, you are going to
have to root out the entries manually from the registry.

If a connection is not working properly isn't it easier just to adapt
some parameters in stead of just making a new one? I might be saying
something stupid but I'm not familiar with the MyODBC dialogs and options.

You can probably do so by the All Programs > Administrative Tools >
Datasources (ODBC) option (at least in Windows XP). This Administrative
Tools menu is not visible by default but you can access it by modifying
the apropriate option on the Advanced tab of the Start menu customization.

Hello, I am using MyODBC from VB and I want to submit a batch of insert statements in one call from my App. This is more efficient than making multiple calls from code because of the communication overhead. If I send a batch multiple statements separated by ; or ; + newline I get syntax errors pointing at the start of the next statement.. If I fire each statement one at a time with the ; at the end there's no problem.

Everything works ok except if the price is 8351.41 in the code it puts this exact price into the price field of...

It can be replicated by anyone having a windoze box with Access 97 and the MyODBC 3.51 driver installed. In Access, click File, Get External Data, Link Tables. For Type of File, choose ODBC Databases. Select Data Source window opens, choose Machine Data Source and all the Data Source configurations are listed there. Some (I no longer use) are useless and I would like to remove them. I've found no way to do 'em so far. Thx.

Hi all, While working on an Access UI to a MySQL database (which should be a reasonable, low-cost, flexible interface to the DB, better than web-based, much less costly than a full-fledged .NET app or so.... is it?), I tried measuring the bandwith consumed by the Access/MyODBC/MySQL link, which came out to be, er, quite high. I fancied it would be interesting to look at the queries Access throws at MySQL through the ODBC link, so I...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
