OK it seems this was the solution

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-odbc-configuration-dsn-windows.html

now stata can find mysql with 'odbc list'

here is the driver for future inquiries

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I then run the following command

. odbc load, dsn("accra") table("annual_employment_control_totals")


but get this error


The ODBC driver reported the following diagnostics
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.1.48-community]You have an error in your
SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for
the right syntax to use near '"annual_employment_control_totals"' at line 1
SQLSTATE=42000
r(682);

I double checked the username and pwd -- looks right

any ideas?

thanks!
Ty
