ODBC Connection Dialogs

In a client/server environment, an OpenAccess SDK data access connection involves the following stages:
The ODBC Client and the OpenAccess SDK Server established communications, then the OpenAccess SDK Server connects to the data store, establishing communication between the Client and the data store.
1. A network connection is established.
2. An authentication mechanism is used to establish the identity of the OpenAccess SDK Client to the OpenAccess SDK Server.
3. Based on information provided by the OpenAccess SDK Client application (for example, a data source user name and password), a data source connection is established.
