> # Using the ODBC Administrator

> The first step in setting up an ODBC connection is creating an ODBC data source. The ODBC Administrator is installed automatically when you install the ODBC Client on Windows. You use the ODBC Administrator to create and manage ODBC data sources.

> To start the ODBC Administrator, click Start, then Programs. From the Programs menu, select DataDirect SequeLink 6.0 Client for ODBC or DataDirect SequeLink 6.0 Client for ODBC 64-bit, and then select the ODBC Administrator application. The ODBC Data Source Administrator window appears listing resident data sources.
