Hi,

I am new to VB. I have experience in connecting mysql to PHP.

I have been asked to change an existing application written in VB6(connected to Access databases) to VB6(Connected to mysql database).

Can anyone tell me how to connect VB6 to mysql? Add as much detail as possible.

This is a snippet of the current code I have for VB6(Access).

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    full_log_form.List1.Clear
    full_log_form.Visible = True
    main.Visible = False
    
    rs.Open ("SELECT * FROM [table1]"), DataEnvironment1.Connection1, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic  'open table1 in connection2
        If Not rs.BOF Then
            rs.MoveFirst
        End If
        Do Until rs.EOF
            temp_string = rs.Fields("Client").Value
            list_string = rs.Fields("Client").Value
            For i = 0 To (30 - Len(temp_string))
                list_string = list_string & " "
            Next i
            list_string = list_string & rs.Fields("Serial") & vbTab & rs.Fields("Alarm") & vbTab & rs.Fields("DateRec") & vbTab & rs.Fields("Time")
            full_log_form.List1.AddItem list_string
            
            'full_log_form.List1.AddItem rs.Fields("client") & vbTab & rs.Fields("Serial") & vbTab & rs.Fields("Alarm") & vbTab & rs.Fields("DateRec") & "   " & rs.Fields("Time")
            rs.MoveNext
        Loop
    rs.Close
End Sub

Any help would be grately appreciated.
