3.3.1 Windows NT

Chili!Soft ASP provides version 3.50 of the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver and version 3.51 of the Microsoft Access ODBC driver. If you are using a newer version of these drivers the Setup program will leave your existing drivers in place. Other database manufacturers provide ODBC drivers with their products.
Before you can access a data source from Chili!Soft ASP, you must create a System Data Source Name (DSN). This is a data structure used by ODBC to store information for a specific database, such as password, database location, and database name.
To create a Data Source Name for ODBC:
- Click Start, point to Settings and then click Control Panel. Double-click ODBC to start the ODBC Administrator control panel application.
- Click the ODBC Drivers tab to display a list of installed ODBC drivers. If an ODBC driver for a particular database is not present, it must be installed from the original file provided by the database vendor.
- Click the System DSN tab to display the System Data Sources window.
- Click Add to display the Create a New Data Source dialog box. Click the ODBC driver for the data source you wish to add, and then click Finish.
- Enter the DSN, server name, address and login information required for the selected data source. The DSN is used by Chili!Soft ASP in the connection string to connect to a database.
- Click OK to return to the System Data Sources window. Verify that the new DSN is displayed. Click OK to close the ODBC Administrator control panel application.
