The easiest is to use MyODBC and ADO. If your familiar with VB just download the ODBC driver from mysql.com and get to work.

Otherwise read up on ADO and ODBC is pretty straight forward once you get started.

Check the MySQL manual and read the section MySQL APIs/ODBC.
The only way you can make use of VB with Mysql is through MyODBC. It is advisable to upgrade your MDAC level to MDAC 2.6 or higher, which will also update your ADO to 2.6. You can download MDAC at and search for the keyword MDAC.

Have fun!
