I know that you can use MySQL without ODBC (ie, oledb, which allows a dsn-less
connection), but that may require using ADO or even mysqldb. In reality, it's
VERY simple to convert. You could probalby have a medium sized project
converted over in a half a day.
This would allow you to not have to setup a DSN connection at all, which is less
intrusive -- you aren't writing to the user's registry, and it's much easier on
setup, not to mention be able to point to different databases or different
machines. What happens if your remote database switches ip addresses or machine
names? Or if you want to setup a test server? You'll have to alter the DSN
info in the registry.
Good luck with the registry thing that Steven is helping you with below.
