Connecting FaxPress Archive to a DSN (SQL Databases)

When FaxPress Archive is configured for an MS SQL database (see Configuring Archive for
an MS SQL Database on page 376), the FaxPress requires a DSN to use for writing to the
database.
During the configuration, the current ODBC connect string will be displayed in the ODBC
DSN dialog box's Select a Data Source Name... field. The connect string is generated
automatically when a DSN is selected and a connection to the server is successful.
If a DSN is not displayed or you want to select an alternate DSN, clicking the Browse
button will let you either select a different existing DSN or create a new one.
The login account to the database server must have permission to create tables in the
database. The same DSN will be used by the Archive program to connect to the database
to enter data.
If the appropriate DSN is not present, you can either select an alternate DSN or create a
new DSN. To select an alternate DSN or to create a new DSN, click Browse in the ODBC
DSN window above, and then follow these steps:
1. Clicking Browse opens the Data Source Administrator screen.
