  I don't know where to post this question, if there is a more adequate place, please feel free to move it there, thanks.

  Basically I want to import/export data between MySQL and SQL, I know nothing about MySQL, so I got this artical as a start point:

  I downloaded the driver and installed it with no problem, however, I stuck at the very beginning, when I try to install a new ODBC data source, I don't even see "MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver" like the second screenshot in the article :crazy:

  What's missing here? Can someone shed me more light?

  Thank you very much.

  Eventually I want to develop a .Net program to do this data bi-directional converter.:-P
