I'm tryin to connect vb with mysql,and I read many articles about connection string so I don't ask the connection string.My problem
is when I am tryin to connect a mysql db it gives this error [Mysql][ODBC 3.51 Driver] Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'(10061)

I changed password and other things but not worked.I have Myodbc 3.51 & 2.5 installed.
And when vb connect to a db from odbc by using ado or dao we
give a physical path of the db like c:\mydb.mdb but when tryin to connect mysql from vb we don't give a path like this we give only the name of the db.At least I didn't saw the any physical path in mysql samples or con. strings
So I want to learn if I am right how can vb connect to a mysql db without its phys. address.Thx for helps
