Hi,
In order to properly register a source database, you must create an attribute named: DBQ, that will contain the file path.
So, in the "ODBC" page, use "New Data Source". Select your datasource name and driver, and then add a new attribute named DBQ that has as value the database file key, which must be something like: [#yourfile.mdb].
To find out what is the key of a file, you can go to the "Registry" page -> "New Value" -> "File..." select your MDB file and press OK. That is your file key. Copy that key, press the "Cancel" button, and go back to the "ODBC" page and create that attribute: name:DBQ value:[#yourfile.mdb] .
We will try to add the possibility of directly insert the file key in the value field.
Kind regards,
Mihai
