I have a mySQL database which I use successfully with a web site but now I must share the content with another web site running ASP on a Windows 2000 shared server. Unfortunately myODBC is not installed and I cannot create a DSN to the database because of the lack of mySQL driver.

Is there any possible way I can make a connection to the database using ASP?

Thanks,

Beaker

I think you need myODBC.

txbakers is right... you need a driver to allow communication between ASP and mySQL. It's odd that the driver is not installed. Hosts usually have that, especially if they allow ASP.
