Click the System DSN tab and then click Add. When setting up an ODBC data
source, you can use a User DSN or System DSN. A User DSN is specific to the user
on a machine. Any data sources a user defines under User DSN are seen only by that
specific user. Conversely, a System DSN is not specific to the user on a machine. Any
data sources a user defines under System DSN on a machine can be seen by any user
who logs into that machine. Your ability to set up a User DSN or System DSN might
depend on the database and ODBC driver you are using. For details, contact your
database administrator or your database ODBC driver documentation.

the database server for this data source to use in the Server field. Consult your
