I haven't used Plat in 3 years, but I thought when you opened the client
there was a drop down where you could select an ODBC connection.
One thing I remember pretty clearly is if you run the installer for the
client there's a place in the setup wizard to add the server IP, SQL
user, etc.

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.

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.

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.
