missing DSN entry

Hello again..

I am trying to create ODBC connection and I have the needed entry under .odbc.ini and uvodbc.config files. For some reason I can not see the DSN in my drop down list.
What could be wrong? What did I miss?

uvodbc.config in your project needs an entry as well. I usually create a soft link for uvodbc.config under all my projects to point to uvodbc.config in the engine. This way I need to create/maintain dsn entries in only one place.

You are right about that file. There is one at project level.
Though, in my case it is a file. I like your suggestion. Easy to maintain and consistent results...

Now, let me try to change the file and see...

I prefer to maintain separate uvodbc.config files per project. That way the development project can not "accidentally" see production DSNs (and vice versa).

Good suggestion

Thanks a bunch
