MS Access - Windows ODBC with remote connection to Linux Database

Hi List.  Please help... I've read up on this for days and days and I
feel like I'm missing something because other people have had so much
more successs than I have.

My Request is this:

Please describe to me any steps that I may be missing in my
installation / configuration / setup of MyODBC, MS Access 2003, ODBC DSN
in order to make the linking of my databases more successful.

I need to either link to or export some MS Access2003 Tables to a Linux
MySQL database.  I've tried several times and in many different ways to
do so using MyODBC 3.51 and 5.0. connecting to a MySQL 5.0 database
(Currently running on my desktop CentOS4.3 box).

Using MyODBC 3.51 crashes Access to where it tells me it must shut down
and restart. This happens about 4 seconds after choosing the MyODBC 3.51
Resource to connect to.

Using MyODBC 5.0 works to a limited extent.  Only small tables can be
linked to (less than 5 columns) and even then only with numeric and
varchar definitions... and no keys.  I've managed to link 1 table with 9
columns... but that table was empty.


Again, My Request is:

Please describe to me any steps that I may be missing in my
installation / configuration / setup of MyODBC, MS Access 2003, ODBC DSN
in order to make the linking of my databases more successful.

Thank you all for any help,
Khalim
