    I can't external link to mysql, help pls

    At first, I succeeded to external link to a .db file, just to make sure i can use the link function.

    Then, I installed myODBC driver 3.51.12, actinic throws error "user cancelled" when I tried to connect to mysql database before I could select the tables in the database. I searched the forum and downgraded to 3.51.11 as suggested. Things improved. It seems connection has been setup and actinic asks for which table to link. But after I map the fields, click OK, another error "Actinic was unable to determine if there are duplicate product references in the external table. Please correct the error to disable external product linking..."

    Actually, I made the dummy product table which has only two fields, one record. (no duplication at all) And it is primary keyed, varchar typed.... All according to Actinic documentation. I also tried every possible setting, none works.

    I have been working on this ODBC for many days, and finally frustrated.

    Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.

    An,

    I would suggest raising this as a support ticket as we will need to see both your Site DB and the one being linked to.

        my finding is:
        the highest version of mysql odbc connector compatible with actinic external link is 3.51.09. Do not use any version newer than that for now.
