I would have thought so too, but unfortunately neither is working for me. For server_IP, should I be using something like localhost, or the server's actual IP address?

I had the same problem using MyODBC 3.51.10.
I solved this problem downgrading myODBC to the version 3.51.09

Excuse me for my bad English, but I'm italian.<

That worked like a charm. I downgraded to MyODBC 2.5 and all is well.

Thanks,

Shaun

Maybe I spoke too soon. Now I'm getting this error:

I've converted the database using the method described in this thread, as well as mysqlfront doing an odbc table import, but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

stefen, did you do exactly what is written in the first post ?

I haven´t got it to work yet - main because of:

Step 4 - Open your Access DB in Microsoft Access. In the objects column, make sure you are viewing Tables. You should see each Table listed. Right click on the first table and select Export. You need to select the Save as Type as Text Files (*.txt;*.csv;*tab;*asc). Now in File Name manually add .csv on the end. Click export.
On the next screen make sure Delimited is selected. Click next.
Select Comma as our field delimiter. Click Next.
Select the file destination and click finish.
Repeat step 4 for each table.


My Access won´t let me export in that format.<

After spending the last 3 days trying many different options such as SQLyog, MYSQL-Front, phpmyadmin,and DB manager, I can now say I'm getting very close to importing my data from my old access db/forum
- http://www.fuerteventura-forum.com

However, there are 4 csv (now txt files) that I can't seem to transfer as they are too big for (or seem to 'time out') whenever I use phpmyadmin.
I have also tried using the import data from an ODBC data source feature in SQLyog which seems to work fine for the smaller files but not for these larger ones -

FORUM_A_REPLY.TXT - 5mb
FORUM_REPLY.TXT - 8mb
FORUM_A_TOPICS.TXT - 1mb
FORUM_TOPICS.txt - 1.5mb
Can anyone help me out with any suggestions?
Is it possible to split a csv or txt file so I can send it via phpmyadmin?
Thanks<

No, I'm joking.

Just wanted to say that the robbear7's post works well. for all those who have probs with the csv files because access says commas won't work, convert with semicolon and then open the .txt-files and change ; to ,

I am using access dump and MySql front. This should work but I also have a few mods to switch over. I would think I could manually edit the tables for the mods but this is what I have so far.

A new blank MySql Database with the snitz table structure installed. No data has been instered yet.

I have no idea where to safely go from here. Has anyone used this combination of software to do this?<

Here is a link to my Snitz powered Drag Racing site.

I used the exact method as stipulated in the first post - it worked a treat.

The only thing I had to do different was delete the first row and column from the imported data.

Also - you have to watch date values as when you convert to CSV all the date values end up as 2E+13 and not the actual number they should be.

Many Thanks<

Cheers

It appears that AccessDUMP is no longer available. I would like to try this program. Anyone have a copy?

Thanks<
