To do this, run the Odbcad32.exe file that is located in the %windir%\SysWoW64 folder.įor more information on setting up an ODBC DSN, see Configure an ODBC Client - System Connection using a DSN in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Client Administration. On machines running the 64-bit version of Windows ®, you need to run the 32-bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator Tool. On machines running the 32-bit version of Windows ®, you can access the ODBC Data Source Administrator Tool from the Control Panel on your PC. (Be aware that the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the ODBC Data Source Administrator Tool display both 32-bit and 64-bit User DSNs on computers running 64-bit operating systems.) If your computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows ®, you need to add a 32-bit ODBC DSN, as SAP Crystal Reports is a 32-bit application. (If any of your reports are to access Multiple Databases, the same data source name has to be used throughout your system-see step 5.) (The Local Database is the Geo SCADA Expert database that contains the report.) By using the same data source name, you allow your reports to be fully portable - they can be edited from any client on which Geo SCADA Expert and Crystal Reports are installed. We advise that the same data source name is used throughout your system, even if Crystal Reports is only to access the Local Database. (A System DSN is shared by all Windows Users on a machine a User DSN is specific to an individual Windows User-the user that was logged on when the DSN was added.)

The DSN on a client can be either a System DSN or a User DSN. Crystal Reports uses the DSN to access the relevant database whenever you create or edit a report on a client.

Geo SCADA Expert can interface with SAP Crystal Reports 2013 or SAP Crystal Reports 2016.
