connection-string

it seems i can't make work a connection to MySql using ODBC connector 5.2.6. In a 64 bit environment, in a VBA excel application, i use this string, but it not work:

"Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.2 Driver}; Server=myserver;Database=mydb;User=readonly;Password=mypass;Option=3"

I have also used

Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.2w Driver}

and

Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.2a Driver}

But the error is: ODBC driver unknow.

Can someone help me ?

Ps: it works with a DSN setted, but i would like to use a connection string so i don't go to each user computer and set a DSN.

Thanks
