 23.1.11.1 How to Set Up Microsoft Access to Work with MySQL using MyODBC?
 .........................................................................
 
 The following must be done on your client PC to make Microsoft Access
 work with MyODBC.
 
   1. If you are using Access 2000, you should get and install the
      newest (version 2.6 or higher) Microsoft MDAC (`Microsoft Data
      Access Components') from `http://www.microsoft.com/data/'. This
      fixes a bug in Access that when you export data to MySQL, the table
      and column names aren't specified. Another way to work around this
      bug is to upgrade to MyODBC 2.50.33 and MySQL 3.23.x, which
      together provide a workaround for the problem.
 
      You should also get and apply the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 5
      (SP5) which can be found at
      `http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q239114'.
      This fixes some cases where columns are marked as `#DELETED#' in
      Access.
 
      Note: If you are using MySQL 3.22, you must apply the MDAC patch
      and use MyODBC 2.50.32 or 2.50.34 and up to work around this
      problem.
 
   2. Install the latest version of MySQL from
      `http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/'.
 
   3. Install the latest version of MyODBC 3.51 or 2.50 from
      `http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/'.
 
   4. For all Access versions, you should enable the `Return matching
      rows' option.
 
   5. Start working with Access as the front end for MySQL Server
      through MyODBC.
