Connect MS Access to mysqlDB without ODBC
(OP)
Hi,
due to new group policies we are not allowed to install odbc driver on windows machine.
but we need to connect an access-application to mysql-db.
is there a possible way or a "work around"?
thx.

Any workarounds that one would seek would likely be much less appealing to an IT department.
RE: Connect MS Access to mysqlDB without ODBC
you are absolutely right, but its a little bit more complicated.
We are talking about a global corporation and IT department is easily not willing to do it.
Furthermore, we dont even know who to contact exactly for this purpose...
So unfortunately the only possiblity is to find a solution for our own.
THX.

Engineering solutions to problems does not always involve hardware and code. People can be engineered as well.
