The ODBC<\/a> standard was developed in the early 1990’s to allow a software developer to use a single interface to access mutltiple data sources. Microsoft Access<\/a> is a very versatile application since it can import or link to a variety of ODBC data sources. <\/p>\n

Today’s article will cover how to define a new ODBC connection. I will be using the [WILD LIFE] database that was created in a earlier article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First step is to open to the administrator tools on the windows operating system. You can find this group under your control panel shortcut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Second step is to launch the ODBC administrator program so that a system wide DNS can be defined.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Third step is to lauch the ODBC wizard by clicking the add button. Please select the SQL Server driver as the source of the data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fourth step is to to name the new connection and select the computer name of the SQL Server engine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fifth step is to choose either integerated (MS Windows) or standard (SQL Server) security.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sixth step is to select the SQL Server database from the list of databases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seventh step is to test the newly created connection. This is the most important step of all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last but not least, the newly created connection should appear under the list of System DSN.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, the task of creating a new ODBC connection requires the correct ODBC driver to be installed and SQL Server login privileges be granted.<\/p>\n

Next time, I am going to connect to the database via a linked server in MS ACCESS. This will be setting stage for using a LOGON TRIGGER to prevent unwanted applications, such as MS Access, from connecting to the server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
