Anybody have any experience getting this combination to work?  I've been struggling for several days trying to set everything up, but it seems that after building every package by source, ColdFusion still fails to verify MySQL datasources.  I started with ColdFusion 4.5.1, SP2, then downloaded the trial of CF 5 just to test.

I can connect to the MySQL using isql, and everything seems to function properly.  The only hangup is making ColdFusion talk to MySQL.  Allaire claims it can be done using MyODBC, which is what I'm using, but without success.

I've read 50+ newsgroup postings and combed the Allaire forums, but nothing.  Any thoughts?
