You have your ODBC driver's installed, now you need to define an ODBC
data source which uses your driver and points to your database. Use the
MapInfo ODBC Administrator. If that is not in MapInfo v3 use the ODBC
Data Source Administrator found in your Win95 Control Panel. You may
define many data sources using the same ODBC driver or many sources
using many ODBC drivers.
