You will need to set up a data source name for any item you want to be able to access from Acu4GL for ODBC. The exact steps required for this will vary for each individual driver. The general steps for setting up an ODBC data source are:
1. Open the Windows control panel.
2. Double click on the ODBC icon. The ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box appears. This box lists all the data sources currently configured for your system. For instance:
3. Double click on the data source you plan to use to access the Setup dialog box. A subsequent window lets you add a description of the data source, and supply other information like version number and path.
4. If the data source you want is not listed, choose the Add option to configure the desired driver. Remember, the exact steps required for setting up a driver vary greatly between drivers and driver vendors. Please refer to the driver's documentation for precise details on this step.
