One of the more complex areas of system configuration involves setting up ODBC drivers, data source names (DSNs), and translators. The ODBC resource must be properly registered on the system with all of the required attributes and, in the case of drivers and translators, install the necessary files, including any installation .dll files. This process is simplified in the ODBC Resources view, in which you can select the drivers, data sources, and translators installed on your development system.
For details about each of the settings that you can configure for ODBC resources, see ODBC Resource Settings.
Project:For installation projects: The ODBC Resources view is exclusively for installing ODBC-related resources. To install the core ODBC files, select the MDAC 2.5 merge module in the Redistributables view.
For DIM and Merge Module projects: The Merged Feature check box in the Associated Feature(s) pane of this view is selected when you add an item and cleared when you remove an item in the ODBC Resources pane. It does not affect your project.
