ODBC to MySQL question

Hey all,

So I'm currently using the ODBC connections to grab data from a MySQL database so I can work with it in Excel.

Is there a way to use the same connection to update the MySQL tables with data from a worksheet via VBA?

I just installed the MySQL for Excel utility from Oracle (HUGE NIGHTMARE that broke my old macros grabbing info from the databases) hoping that I'd be able to create a macro that could do that, but to no avail. When I try to grab some base code by starting the macro recorder & using the "MySQL for Excel" utility, nothing gets written.

So I started wondering if there was any way to do it at all.

Anybody currently doing this, and willing to help me along?

Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Can't you just use the MySQL driver and connect over ADO, using the utility looks like hard work ;)
