Can't Connect

Post by csampson1@cfl.rr.com »

Error connecting to destination database.
Connection: Driver={SQL Server};Server=csampson1.db.2615434.hostedresource.com ;Database=;Uid=csampson1;Pwd=XXXXXXXXXXXX;
Program Version: 3.0.0.117
ODBC Version:
Function: modMySql.MoveData2MySql

Reason: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I am certain I am putting the password in right......

I found that my end user was using his Windows ID in the Bullzip Access to MySQL setup wizard wher you are asked to enter credentials for the MySQL database.
MySQL may not have been setup with the end user's Windows ID as his login id. The command line may not even ASK for a ID. It only asks for password.
Defaults for MySQL during setup are the ID "root" and a blank password (Just hit "Enter")

Using the ID of "root" in the MySQL configuration portion allowed Bullzip to convert the MS Access database to MySQL.
