CMS Open Database Connectivity

Desktop Computer Client Configuration 2-26

System DSN Tab

Allows you to add, delete, or configure data

sources local to a computer, rather than

dedicated to a user. If you select this button, a

dialog box prompts you for the information

required to set up the system data source. This

is recommended for CMS.

Tracing Tab Allows you to set ODBC options. If you select

this button, a dialog box prompts you, asking if

the ODBC calls should be traced; and, if so, the

name of the trace file.

User DSN Tab Allows you to add, delete, or configure data

sources that are dedicated to a specific user

dialog box prompts you for the information

required to set up a login ID-specific data

source. This is not recommended for CMS, but

is presented as an option in this document.

File DSN Tab Allows you to add, delete, or configure file-

based data sources in a shared folder that is

accessible by every client on the network. If

you select this tab, the File DSN dialog box and

accompanying wizard prompts you for the

information required to set up a login ID-

specific data source. This is not recommended

for CMS and is not described in this document;

however, you may choose this option if you

have a large number of networked

Windows

4.0 clients.

About Displays a dialog box with detailed information

about the ODBC drivers available on your
