OK, it appears to be a problem with myODBC 3.51.10.
They are working on a fix, untill then using driver 3.51.9 seems to solve the problem.

I am trying to load data from Excel to MySQL. In PHP everything works fine , but in VB I get error 8000ffff,

Sub XLtoMYSQL()
Dim ConnectMySQL As String
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
ConnectMySQL = _
"DRIVER={Mysql ODBC 3.51 Driver};" & _

conn.Open ConnectMySQL
End Sub

I spent all day trying to figure this out.
Any ideas?
