Driver Name

The name displayed in the available drivers list on the target machine (in ODBC Data Source Administrator). This name must be unique and it will also be displayed in the “Drivers” tree folder.

File

The path to the driver file. This file must be already included in your project.

• Use the [New… ] button, the “New…” context menu item or press the Insert key while the “Attributes” list is focused.
• Press the [Edit… ] button, use the “Edit…” context menu item or press theSpace key to edit the attribute selected in the list.
• Press the [Remove ] button, use the “Remove” context menu item or press theDelete key to remove the attribute selected in the list.
