Managing your ODBC Datasources

On the right side of the Signon window are a number of buttons for managing your ODBC Datasources. Many of these are only visible when you have selected Show all, rather than Show recent.

• use New to create a new Datasource.
• use Configure to change the way a Datasource has been configured
• use Delete to delete a Datasource
• use ODBC Admin to invoke the Microsoft ODBC Administrator system

These ODBC Admin functions can be hidden with Options > User Rights > Hide ODBC Admin functions on Signon window.

Note that your ODBC Datasources are in two categories:

• User Datasources. These can only be used by yourself
• System Datasources. These can be used by any user on your PC.

You can only create / configure / delete System Datasources if you have sufficient rights on your PC.

For more information on configuring your ODBC Datasources, see Configuring a Database Connection.
