this site http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm is v useful for connection strings.

Another good way to get a connection string is to create a blank .udl file, double-click it, fill in the details in the dialog that appears, then open the udl file in Notepad when you've finished and you've got your connection string.

As a further bit of info, if not all that useful..
You can connect to the MySql server using the Microsoft ADO if you download the appropriate .dll from the MYSQL website.
All instructions are given online if you look at:

and the manual
