Mike,
On a Windows system, you’d find the ODBC config in “Windows Administrative Tools” -> ODBC Data Sources (32-bit). Look in the System DSN tab. When I install the client, one of the earliest steps in the installation is configuring the server access – there is a Test Database Connection step that will tell you if the client machine can successfully connect to the database. If that’s good, then you should be fine. When you launch the client software, does it ask which database you want to use, or does it go to the Platypus window with the Login dialog box? n Darren From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2017 11:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Platypus Help On the client side, I don't see where the ODBC points to the server. Where do I find that? I've successfully created a new user in SQL and got the client installed on the server to at least connect to the system. I don't have a Plat login, so I can't do anything there, but I got that far at least. I don't know how to check the clients are talking to the right place. ----- Mike Hammett <http://www.ics-il.com/> Intelligent Computing Solutions <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> Midwest Internet Exchange <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> The Brothers WISP <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> _____ From: "Adam Moffett" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2017 11:13:24 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Platypus Help Tucows support is pretty responsive (assuming they're paying for it). That said, the client is a front end for an MSSQL database. If the MSSQL database is up and the client has the correct ODBC source set up, then that's like 90% of it. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 11/14/2017 12:10:56 PM Subject: [AFMUG] Platypus Help Do any of you with experience with Platypus have a few minutes? A client of mine has a down Platypus system and with my first experience with Platypus being a non-functional system, I'm not sure how a few things are supposed to work. ----- Mike Hammett <http://www.ics-il.com/> Intelligent Computing Solutions <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> Midwest Internet Exchange <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> The Brothers WISP <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg>
