VB6 Run-time error'-2147467259(80004005)': MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) (no replies)

I hope there is a simple answer to this.

Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':

[MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'
(10061)


I am running a VB6 application bulding about 5 to 7 thousand records at a time to a table located in my MySQL "Local-Host" Data Base.

During execution of the VB6 application a Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time error pops up, I choose the DeBug option and then click continue. Everything works fine as long as I sit and watch for this VB6 Run-Time Error.

I am hoping some-one can tell me what I need to do that will resolve this error. Thanks
