I'm trying to run my old:

MySQL code for a complete pipeline automatic suite I'm starting but it's crashing on the

recordSet.Open "SELECT * from TestTable" TestConn

Any ideas on what might be causing that? It seems to be in a loop of some sort. But I don't know why that would be.


Edit3:
Hmmm it would seem that it's inside the ODBC driver. I'm on XP64 and I think it might be trying to return data from the x64 driver inside of max 32bit... causing unexpected crashiness.

-- Runtime error: OLEObject method call failed:
Error Message 1: Provider is not specified and there is no designated default provider.
method: open()

I installed a 64 bit ODBC driver instead and am using Max 64. But now it's not recognizing the 64 bit driver. I think it's looking for the 32 bit ODBC driver but not finding it. But why would max 64 look for a 32 bit driver for its ODBC handling in MaxScript?

3D Studio Max 10 32 bit finds the 64 bit driver fine... which it shouldn't.

I got it to work. The solution?

Use a differeint MySQL/Apache package.

EasyPHP 2.0 is now my recommended software package.

Hi,

If you're using max 9 or later, you should try the MySQL .NET connector. I've had better success using it than using activex solutions.


cheers,

Do you still need ODBC or can it connect natively? Not needing an ODBC driver would be great.

You don't need ODBC, it allows you a direct connection to the DB.
