Re: Trouble creating a DSN-file

Hi,

Is there a way to test the DSN-file when created? Just to verify the file is
working.

Is it possible to use an IP-adress as ServerName?

Hi Kelvin,

I can confirm that creating file DSNs doesn't seem to work at the moment
- however you should still be able to use them if you manually create
one. For example:

[ODBC]
DRIVER=PostgreSQL
Database=DatabaseName
Server=ServerName
Port=5432
UID=Username
PWD=Password
