Is this possible? I know you can do local connections but I have yet
to see a remote connection though VB 2005 express. Can anyone help me
out?

I have a VB.NET 2005 app that makes connections with MySQL. I use full
blown VS, not VS Express, but surely VS Express supports ODBC
connections? The only rub with MySQL is that you will need to get the
special MySQL ODBC driver. Get it from mysql.com.

Oh, and the only thing you need to remember about local as opposed to
remote MySQL connections is that MySQL uses TWO separate usernames for
the same user, one being local, the other being remote.
