Thanks. You won't be able to browse your complete MySQL object hierarchy through the SSMS Linked Server node for the reason I mentioned in my previous post about them not coding up to ISO standards but you should be able to pull data. I think all you need to do is start qualifying your table names, like this:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (MYSQL, 'SELECT * FROM SchemaName.Mytable')
