Linked Server PROBLEM For MySQL Database

I created a ODBC DSN on my Windows Server for a remote UNIX box MySQL database. The TEST button returns the 'successful' message for the MySQL databaser. Also, when I use an ODBC DSNless string I found, that also successfully connects when I use it in some ASP pages.

However, I can not get a successful connection in the Enterprise Manager trying to use the DSN I created nor the DSNless string I used in the ASP pages. Can anyone tell me how to config the Enterprise Manager Linked Server settings listed below to connect to the MySQL database(s).

I added a new linked server, and selected the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC Drivers as the Provider name.

Does anyone know how do I configure the items below:

On the General tab:" option.
Product Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Data Source: xxxxxxx
Provider String: xxxxxxxx
Location: xxxxxxx
Catalog: xxxxx

On the Security tab:" option.
Remote Login: xxxxxx
With password: xxxxxx

Thanks.I found a wonderful solution to this problem...

In case the link is gone, here is the way to create a Linked Server to a MySQL database, in a nutshell...

1) Create a System DSN on the server running MSSQL, connecting to the MySQL database. Let's call it <the_new_mysql_dsn>.

2) Run the following stored procedure, with appropriate arguments...

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @.server='<linked_server_label>', @.srvproduct='MySQL', @.provider='MSDASQL', @.datasrc='<the_new_mysql_dsn>'

-------

You can then open up ol' Enterprise Manager and see the new linked server added in. Right click on it to see the Properties. On mine, the settings showed up as...

Linked server: <linked_server_label>
Provider name: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Product name: MySQL
Data source: <the_new_mysql_dsn>

Everything else is blank.

-------

Incidentally, just to try it out, I deleted my new linked server, and then added a new one, using the following settings...

Linked server: <linked_server_label>
Provider name: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Provider string: DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};DESC=;DATABASE=<mysql_database>;SERVER=<mysql_server>;UID=;PORT=;OPTION=0;STMT=;

And it works as well (the connection string was generated within Visual Interdev). I am using no passwords yet, I'm still in the early development phases, but this should handle the basics of connecting to a MySQL database from SQL Server.
