Using odbcDataReader

I'm attempting to read a value from a database using the odbcDataReader.  My
query doesn't seem to be returning any records... I've confirmed that the
connection is actually opening and MyReader.RecordsAffected.ToString returns '1'
(as expected).  Here is my code...

Imports System.Data.Odbc
Partial Class University_PostTraining_PostItem
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
        Dim MyConnection As OdbcConnection
        Dim MyConnectString As String
        Dim MyCommand As New OdbcCommand
        Dim MyQueryString As String
        Dim MyReader As OdbcDataReader

        '*********************************************************************
        '*** Open Connection to Database
        '*********************************************************************
        MyConnectString = "Dsn=MySQL Database on
Localhost;uid=mysql;pwd=mysql"
        MyConnection = New OdbcConnection(MyConnectString)
        MyConnection.Open() 

        MyCommand.Connection = MyConnection
        MyQueryString = "select FirstName, LastName, MiddleInt from MyTable
where id = 1"
        MyCommand.CommandText = MyQueryString
        MyReader = MyCommand.ExecuteReader()
        If MyReader.Read() Then
            lblFirstName.Text = MyReader.Item("FirstName")
        Else
            lblFirstName.Text = "Error"
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

So are you saying MyReader.Read() returns false?
