Do you have any ODBC data source names defined?

I created DSN for Oracle 9i database. Is it working here?
Otherwise which driver need to set up a data source.

Is this Oracle 9i data source the one from which you wish to import table definitions? (I don't have QS version 7 right now, am working with version 8, so all this has to be from memory.) Is the ODBC DSN a user DSN or a system DSN ?

I tried the link the import->Datafile definitions->From ODBC File definitions but the option "From ODBC File definitions " is not enabled

Did you try what bala_135 suggested, opening the file definition window first?
