Click the Add button and then select the MySQL 3.51 Connector and click finish. This will open up a new Form where you can fill in details of how to connect to your MySQL database. You can see my connection details. You must know your user name/password, the database and then give it a name to use. In my case the name is sirius. If all goes well then the Test Connect button will verify your configuration or tell you what went wrong if it doesn't.
There are two other tabs on the ODBC Connector dialog (Connect Options and Advanced) but unless your database is a bit unusual (as in you are accessing it via SSL or on a different port/socket) or you wish to log sql statements then the 3 sub tabs of flags cover most eventualities.
I suggest you take screen shots (open the config tab, click anywhere on it then hit the PrintScrn button (usually to the right of the F12 key on standard keyboards) then paste that into a document somewhere and keep it safe. You'll need it when you change your PC or reinstall Windows.
