Hi!
I am one of MySQL developers.
There is truly no big deal. Just download MyODBC binaries for Win32 from www.mysql.com site and install them on all Windows machines that are to access MySQL server. Configure MyODBC on each machine, according to privileges granted on the server.
Then you will be able to use Access from any Windoze on your network.
Two noticies, however :
1. Access 2000 has a bug in it's ODBC code and you should get patches from Microsoft
2. If you want to update tables with Access, each table should have one auto_increment key (counter in MS Access) and one timestamp column.
There is truly no fuss !!
Slashdot Mirror
Please read more closely at the rebukal arguments.
Main argument is that it is prohibited by law
there.
For a country where corruption is a way of life, this is a rather weak argument !!!!

I am working on developing and supporting MySQL. Last week I worked exactly 70 hours !
