Dear firebird helpers
I've just installed firebird the for the first time using (on Windows 7 64
bit Dell)
Firebird-2.5.1.26351_1_x64.exe
Firebird_ODBC_2.0.0.151_x64.exe
flamerobin-0.9.2-1-setup.exe
All installations OK can I can see the demonstration 'EMPLOYEES' database
in Flamerobin - all looks very promising
Now I would like to set up an ODBC connection so my target users can see
data via Microsoft Excel.
In Control Panel-ODBC Data Source Administrator I have added a System DSN
"Employees" for the employees database and the "Test connection" button
indicates "Connection Successful!". Works for both SYSDBA account and also
for a second account I have set up. Very happy so far!
Next if fire up a blank Excel 2007 workbook and attempt to connect using:
1. Data - From Other Sources (Ribbon) - Data connection wizard - ODBC DSN -
but nothing listed for firebird so go back and try...
2.other/advanced - perhaps Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider ???? - no signs
there either
3.Data - From Other Sources (Ribbon) - Microsoft Query - New data source -
select Firebird/Interbase(r) driver - Connect - enter USER and passwork
(SYSDBA and masterkey) and get a message "! file is not a valid database"
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Regards
Mark
