Identify the Database
Before you create your .asp file, you must identify the database in the ODBC applet in Control Panel. In this example, you will use a Microsoft® Access database that is provided with Remote Data Service.
- At the computer running your Web server, open Control Panel.
- Double-click the ODBC icon, and then click System DSN.
There are two types of data sources: User, which is available only to you, and System, which is available to anyone using the computer. Data sources for use with the Web server need to be System data sources.
- Click Add, choose Microsoft Access Driver, and then click Finish.
- In the Data Source Name box, type AdvWorks, and click Select. Select the C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSADC\Samples\AdvWorks.mdb file, and click OK.
- Click OK to close the dialog boxes.
