Using MS Access on my PC, how would I create an ODBC connection to the native database for my vBulletin?

Just "Read", not "Write" via Linked tables.

I'm good at Access, but new to vBulletin

Thanks!

vBulletin runs on MySQL - Google generally will better answer you, as we are dealing with MS Access, not vBulletin itself.

Google "ms access odbc mysql", it gives plenty of solutions on the first page.

I have successfully linked my MS Access database to my vBulletin database, but I don't know how to do live updating.
