I thought this was my problem too – so I installed the x64 … same issue still. In Excel it refuses the credentials.

Not working for me. Step one and step two worked great. But back in excel, although I could select the ODBC DNS option, and then MySQL that I named, it asked me for Data Link Properties in Excel 2007, and again for the credentials, but in this case it kept telling me the credentials were wrong. I cannot get further.

Ah! Fixed. Running Win7. You need to install the 64 bit connector otherwise it doesn’t show up in the list, even though I only have the 32 bit MySQL installation

Should the ODBC connector installer register the DLL? It doesn’t seem to, and when I manually try to register it with regsvr32 I get an error (Enry point DLLRegisterServer not found).

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help setting up the MySQL connection inside of Excel. You can actually manipulate data on the mysql server from inside of excel using the recordsets. I have been working with accessing data in an access database for a while now and it works great, it’s just code heavy. I find that using excel as a VB editor and using the VBA forms and classes is a way of creating applications using excel as a base. To make it work with the MySQL database, I took what I had done with the Access database and just modified the connection string and it pretty much works the same.

try this code

Sub Macro1()

Range(“A1″).Select
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
“ODBC;DSN=SQL to Excel;”, Destination:=Range(“$A$1″)).QueryTable
.CommandText = Array(“SQL Query”)

.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.ListObject.DisplayName = “Table_Query_from_SQL_to_Excel”
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True
End With

End Sub
