MySQL connections

I've got some batch-file based logon scripts that I'm trying to migrate to VBScript for next year (I work at a school and plan a year in advance). The way the batch files work now is they search a series of text config files to find campus, room, and workstation-specific configurations such as printer assignments and software installations. This is handy when you have to support 1,500 computers and don't want to configure them by hand ever time they get replaced or imaged.
 
As part of the move to VBScript, I'd like to drop the limitations of text files and move to reading configurations from a MySQL server I just got set up. The problem is, I can't find good information on doing this with client-side VBS. I've found quite a bit of ASP code and a few VBS scripts that use DSNs (not an option as I don't want to set up a DSN on 1,500 student-accessible computers), but I've had a hard time locating good information on how to do it using WSH. Searches on these forums keep pointing me to connectionstring.com, which looks to have let its domain lapse.
 
So for starters, I need help getting the connection working and running a simple SELECT query.

...and now connectionstrings.com works. It seems there was a DNS hiccup on our network this morning.

Well that was easy.  Mark this trouble call closed.

Not so fast, I'm still a bit of a noob :)

Here's my code so far:

SQLserver = "CISD2K3-SS2" 
     SQLdb = "test" 
     SQLquery = "SELECT * FROM test" Set Connection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
     Set Recordset = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") ConnString =  "Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=CISD2K3-SS2;Database=test;User=QueryUser;Password=password;Option=3;" Connection.Open ConnString Recordset.Open SQLquery,Connection If Recordset.EOF Then 
     WScript.Quit() 
     Else 
     Do While NOT Recordset.Eof 
     wscript.echo Recordset("column1") 
     wscript.echo Recordset("column2") 
     Recordset.MoveNext Loop 
     End If Recordset.Close 
     Set Recordset=nothing 
     Connection.Close 
     Set Connection=nothing

(yes I know I don't use all of those variables in the current code. I'll be putting them into the code once I get it working)
And here's the error I get when I run it:

Script: c:\test2.vbs
Line: 10
Char: 1
Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Code: 80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers

Have you installed the drivers?
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/

Yes, I downloaded and installed the driver yesterday.

If you have the newest driver 5.1 then you should try the corresponding connection string.
http://www.connectionstrings.com/mysql#p31

Umm...I did. It's in the code I posted above.

ConnString =  "Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}
vs.
Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver}

Ah! That was it. Even after I'd gone through and looked at the driver information in XP it didn't register, probably becauase 3.51 and 5.1 are close enough to "look right" at a glance. Why they couldn't just stick with "MySQL ODBC Driver"...sigh.

Thanks, my basic queries are working now. Now on to figuring out just how to actually execute my plans :)
