We currently have it set up. But there some things you watch out for
like file names and dictionary entries with embedded periods. Email me
offline at [email protected] and I'll send you our documentation
for the setup.

Subject: [U2] PC setup for to use ODBC

A question for those who have done it-

I want to set up ODBC access on user PCs to Universe files for several
of my users.  The Universe side is all set up. 
This, of course, requires the ODBC driver be installed on the user's PC
when creating the ODBC data source.
I have this driver on my personal PC from some time ago, gotten from the
very large IBM download that includes UniDK, UniAdmin, and much more. Of
course that download from IBM is no longer available.

Anybody have simple steps to get the needed driver all loaded on a PC so
that the Universe driver is available for setup?

I know - this is the lowest form of communication to the Universe files,
but I want to give users the option.  It's a perception thing mostly, if
they see "ODBC" they think good things.

Thanks-
