How can I bind data entered in to a Dynamic PDF form to reside in a MySQL database. I seem not able to build a connection.
So here are the steps I follow:
Binding / New Connection / Name: testdata ; Description: OLEDB database / Connection String: build: SQL Native Client / Data Source: location of the SQL database (.mwb) ; Log on to server: localhost
But when I test the connection I get an initialization error and login time out.
So my question is: How do you connect the PDF fields to a MySQL database ? and what am I doing wrong ? Is it a feasable process to bind also check boxes and other fields to a database ? How would you bind data dynamically - say if I choose a certain field from a dropdown menu, certain other fields will populate via the database ?
Thanks again for all help and insight.

PS I attached a sample form (not yet completely integrated to accept certain data) and a sample MySQL database (no data inside).
