Dear all,
I saw several messages that people had trouble finding “MySQL ODBC” in step 8, and so did i.

To make a long story short, in my case that meant that i had a 64bit OS, 64bit mysql so i downloaded the 64 bit MySQL ODBC connector.
What i didn’t notice is that Visio is 32 bit, and that’s why the ODBC did not come up in the list.

If you have the same problem try to download also the 32bit ODBC and install it next to the 64 bit (this does not appear to be a problem on a 64bit os) and try again.

Hey,
I have just install my SQL driver but still it is not appearing in data source. When I try to add new it was not in that list as well.

I followed your instructions. In step 12 which installed visio driver should I use? I’m getting the notice that the Microsoft Access driver in conjunction with the MySQL data source is perhaps not compatible. Which driver should I use? How do I get the MySQL driver?
