You will find two tabs named as File Data Source and Machine Data Source, click any one of it and then double-click on Connector/ODBC or Connector/ODBC 3.51 data source to export your data to.
• MS Access will connect to MySQL from this data patch and will be able to export new tables and data from your MS Access files.
