    If you have myODBC installed, then you can use that, although I found it easier to use MySQLX - http://www.amedea.cz/mysqlx/DownloadFiles/MySQLX.zip

    It has DAO-like syntax, and is pretty good. Although I think one of the mySQL developers is putting together a native VB API to go with the C one.
