Creating an ODBC data source

Note: In 64-bit editions of Windows, there are separate lists of data sources for the 32-bit and 64-bit modes. You need to configure a data source for the 32-bit mode. To access the respective version of ODBC data source administrator, click the “Setup” button in the “ODBC database” module.
