Defining a new Datasource with the ODBC Data Source Administrator

You can define a Datasource with the Microsoft ODBC Datasource Administrator.

This is started in two ways:

• from the AQT Signon window, click on ODBC Manager
• from the Windows start menu, search on ODBC and select Data Sources (ODBC).

  On Windows 10 you will see 2 items ODBC Datasources (32-bit) and ODBC Datasources (64-bit).

• for 64-bit editions oif Windows, see 32-bit versus 64-bit Datasources

From the Datasource Adminstrator:

• click on Add...
• select the ODBC Driver for your Database
• you will be shown the database-specific dialog for defining the connection

At this point you will be taken into the dialog for specifying the information for the connection.
