Should be no problem, install the MySQL ODBC driver and away you go.

I've ODBC'd from Windows to Windows and Windows to Linux (not with VB, but I don't see any poblems)

I've used ODBC in things like Word & Excel for mail merges, data imports etc...

Hi

MySQL can be used for Visual Basic programming through the use of the MyODBC driver. MyODBC is a very mature driver that is ODBC 3.51, level 1 compatible and has been declared production stable. The combination of MySQL with MyODBC and Visual Basic using ADO gives us an excellent platform to develop applications. Because of it's speed, scalabity, stability, and ease of use, consider MySQL as RDBMS of choice for database powered applications.
