ok, I just got this to return success on my machine, what yours say ?

Code:

break on

$= SetOption("WrapAtEol", "On")

$connection = createobject("adodb.connection")

$ConnDSN = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=phone;USER=root;PASSWORD=********;";OPTION=3;"

$= $connection.open($connDSN)

? @SERROR



hmmm - i took the option=3 off though

[edit]

option=3 works for me too
