The ODBC page

There are three ODBC components you can add in this page: drivers, data sources and translators. There is a tree control in the left side of the view where all the drivers, data sources and translators from your project will be displayed. In the right side of the view are displayed the properties of the selected item in the tree.

Adding a driver

Use the [ Add Driver... ] toolbar button, the "Add Driver..." tree/list context menu item or press the + key while the focus is on the tree control.

Creating a new data source

Use the [ New Data Source ] toolbar button, the "New Data Source" tree context menu item or press the Insert key while the focus is on the tree control.

Importing an existing data source

Use the [ Import Data Source... ] toolbar button or the "Import Data Source..." tree context menu item.

Only the name and attributes of the data source will be imported. You will need to set the ODBC driver yourself.

Adding a translator

Use the [ Add Translator... ] toolbar button, the "Add Translator..." tree context menu item or press the * key while the focus is on the tree control.

Locating the attached component for a driver, data source or translator

Advanced Installer will create components for the added resources as necessary. These components will be added to the Current Feature. Use the drop-down list box in the toolbar to change the Current Feature.

You can further manage the your package's organization in the Organization page.
