[niall91]

I cant get this connection to work, error message "data source not found and no default driver specified" but i have the driver downloaded. any ideas?

Sub ConnectToMariaDB()
    Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim connectionString As String
    
    Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
    
    ' Set the connection string
    conn.connectionString = "DRIVER={MariaDB ODBC 3.1 Driver};" _
        & "SERVER=10.0.0.10;" _
        & "DATABASE=Customers;" _
        & "USER=prod1;" _
        & "PASSWORD=12345;"
    
    ' Open the connection
    conn.Open
    
End Sub
