How do I create a system DSN on my Windows server?

1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Data Sources(ODBC).
2. Click the System DSN tab, and then click Add.
3. Click the database driver that corresponds with the database type to which you are connecting, and then click Finish.

5. Click Select.
6. Click the correct database, and then click OK.
7. Click OK, and then click OK.
