ODBC Data Source

The Conquest application accesses all its data via ADO using database details as follows:

•      Type

•      Server

•      Database name

These are provided in an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) created with a 32 bit ODBC Administrator utility, before installing Conquest, or during the installation with the ODBC dialog, “Add New” button, which opens the ODBC Administrator utility during the Installation process.

To create a DSN with the ODBC Administrator.

•      Select the System DSN tab

•      Select the driver for SQL Server, choose “SQL Server” not “SQL Native Client”

•      Follow the instructions to locate the Conquest II database

•      Note: On a PC running a 64 bit Operating System, use the 32 bit version of the ODBC utility as per this image:
