User - database user as which you want to connect.Database Password- the password for the database.This can also be the port number on which the database is running. Database - the name of the database to which you want to connect.Host - the name or IP address for the machine which hosts the database server.

If using the FrontBase Configuration dialog fill in theappropriate fields necessary to connect to your database. Now the information to connect to the database mustbe provided. These can be anything that you like however, you will use the data source name when connecting to a database so it should probably be meaningful and something that you can remember. In either case provide a 'Data Source Name' (DSN) and 'Description'. Earlier versions present a default dialog using Keyword/Value pairs. The latest version of the administrator tool will then present the FrontBase ODBC DSN Configuration dialog.

This will probably be the driver that you just added. Choose the driver that you want your data source to use.As you might have guessed, a 'User DSN' is a user specific data source which is only available to that user while a 'System DSN' data source is available to all users on the system. Go to either the 'User DSN' or the 'System DSN' tab and click 'Add'. Now you must configure an ODBC data source.Provide a 'Description' (this can be anything that you like) and browse to the 'Driver file' which is the file which you just installed in the steps above.Go to the 'Drivers' tab and click 'Add'.Open the ODBC Administrator application in /Applications/Utilities/ODBC Administrator.app.

If you are running Mac OS X 10.3.9 (PowerPC) or earlier then use libFBODBC.dylib (PowerPC). Library/FrontBase/lib seems like an appropriate place, but you should remember that this requires Administrator privileges.

If using Mac OS X 10.4 (PowerPC/Intel) or later then drag libFBODBCUB.dylib (Universal Binary) to any location where you would like it installed.

Open FrontBaseODBC.dmg by double-clicking on it.
