Has anyone tried creating an ODBC connection to an SQL
server, then get the scanner to record data to it?

I copied my scan6db.mdb file to my SQL server and
imported it into a new database.

(note - my remote connection to this SQL server is
tunneled through SSH).

I then set up an ODBC connection on my scanning system
to the SQL server.

Next, I went to the Tools/Database Administration
dialog and selected "New DSN...", which asks to
connect to an existing ODBC data source or create a
new one.   Since I already created one, I selected
"existing", then "Next>" -- then, I'm presented with a
list of data sources -- but the only sources listed
are those using a Microsoft Access driver.

Since this didn't appear to be what I needed -- I went
back and selected "create a new ODBC data source" -- I
told it the name of the ODBC source I had already
created, gave it the user name and password, then hit
"Next>" -- the next windows says "You have
choosen(sic) to create a new data source named
ISS_Scanner_DB using the Access ODBC driver.
<blah><blah>"

Is the scanner software limited to using Access
drivers only?

Any way to accomplish what I want?

If so, what is the impact on the network during a
scan?  I don't see it being a big issue, but I don't
want to bombard my segment of the network with tons of
data between my scanning system and the db server.
