I have installed Crystal Reports 2008 on my Windows PC at work.

We have an internal MySQL server which has data which we need to access. I have the IP address, port, user, password and database-name.

When I fire up Crystal Reports, and run the Report Creation wizard, it gave me a slew of ways to connect to various data sources, but not MySQL. I tried ODBC, but it asked for a connection string. How do you make a proper connection string for MySQL? Is ODBC even the right way to go?

How do I connect this thing to MySQL?
