This action could not be performed because the required table is missing

My first try at working with external ODBC data sources. MySQL is up and running, the DNS is setup, FileMaker sees the DNS, it's showing me the table I want to add, but when I do so I get the following error: "This action could not be performed because the required table is missing"

I gave the mySQL user full global access to everything. There are no scripts in this database. I just created this database, it's completely empty.

Any ideas as to what's going wrong?

I figured it out. MySQL will allow you to have spaces in the Database name but FM can't handle it. I renamed the database using underscores instead of spaces and it worked fine. I did a lot of reading and I didn't that mentioned.
