To connect MySQL to VB 6 you need to download the OBDC Driver for MySQL Here[^] although I would seriously recommend that you download Visual Basic Express 2010[^] and start your project with VB.Net. VB 6 was discontinued at least 6/7/8 years ago and is no longer supported. It would be much easier for you to find tutorials and stuff related to VB.Net these days, and would serve you in much greater stead. Good Luck whichever way you go. :)

No. Even before VB6 was launched ODBC was a deprecated technology. He should use ADO.

Firstly, don't use VB6 unless someone is putting a gun to your head; even then think hard about the choice. Secondly, use ADO not ODBC. You will need to download the MDAC library from Microsoft, I assume it is still available. You need at least 2.5 but later versions may still work. The better option is to go with .net.

I agree with this, use .net. The downloads are here (this includes vb, c#, etc, plus sql server and lightswitch) http://www.microsoft.com/express[^] The direct link to Visual Basic.net is here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-basic-express[^]
