How to access MySQL data in Filemaker via ODBC

In order to import data from a MySQL database into FileMaker 6 via ODBC, do not install the DataDirect ODBC driver that comes with FileMaker. Instead, download the OpenLink one.

If you decided to install the DataDirect driver (which only has a driver to access PlainText files, but not MySQL), you will have to uninstall it in order to be able to access the OpenLink one. I have spent a whole morning trying to figure this out until I read the FAQs file in OpenLink's homepage.
