2. Click the Add button. The “Create New Data Source” dialog is displayed, enabling you to add a new DSN.

3. Select “Pervasive ODBC SQL driver” and click the Finish button.

4. The Pervasive ODBC Driver Setup Dialog will appear. And in this dialog you need to enter the following configuration details:

  • The data source name for connection;

As soon as the correct information is specified, please, check the connection by clicking “Test” button. If the pop up window says that the connection failed, please, check the specified credentials.
