MYSQL connection

I have been using SQL Server Express for years, both on local PC's and the cloud.

I am now considering using MYSQL for a new cloud app.

I downloaded and installed the MySQL Workbench and can connect to the cloud MYSQL database, directly from the WorkBench.

However, I was not successful in connecting to the cloud (or the local host for that matter) from VFP

Do I need to download and install an ODBC driver for this? If so,which driver?

A code snippet would be of great help

Thank you all in advance
