User Data Sources |
Lists all user DSNs, including the name and associated driver of each DSN. You will see the Platform column if you are working on a 64-bit version of a Windows operating system, if you are using the native odbcad32.exe or in Wow64. Possible values for the Platform column:
Double-clicking a user DSN displays the driver-specific data source setup dialog box. |
Add |
Click to add a new user data source. In the Create New Data Source dialog box that appears, choose the driver for which you are adding a user data source and click Finish; a driver-specific setup dialog box will appear. |
Remove |
Click to remove a selected user data source name from the Users Data Sources list. |
Configure |
Click to change the configuration of a selected user data source. This will display the driver-specific data source setup dialog box. If a DSN has a User Data Sources value "N/A", you cannot configure it, you can only remove it. |
OK |
Closes the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box. You do not have to click OK to accept changes to the User Data Sources list. Changes to the list are accepted once you click OK in the data source setup dialog box. |
Cancel |
Closes the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box but does not undo changes made via other dialog box controls. |
