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 the ODBC icon. The ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box is displayed. This box lists all the data sources currently configured for your system.
3. Double click on the data source you plan to use to access a setup dialog box. A subsequent window lets you add a description of the data source and allows you to supply other information the driver requires.
If the data source you want is not listed, choose Add to indicate which driver to use for the data source you will create. 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.
