Ok, got Myodbc, and it connects to my Mysql database across the network.
In winfax I select this source and it offers me the correct table names to select
from, but on selecting the table I get error rc=1012 which I can only find one example of
on google and this is something about 'not supporting dynasets' and the answer given is
to create a Access link table.

Any clues anyone
