This file describes the areas of the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge on
Microsoft Windows which differ from other operating systems.

Windows NT
----------

For Windows NT the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server is an installed
service which may be started/stopped from Control Panel->Services.

Windows 95
----------

For Windows 95, you must start the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server
manually for this beta by selecting esoobserver from Start
Menu->Easysoft->ODBC-ODBC Bridge.

You must be running Winsock 2 to use the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge.
If you are not running Winsock 2 it is available as a download from
Microsoft's web page at http://www.microsoft.com.

Accessing MS Windows ODBC datasources
-------------------------------------

When setting up a data source name (DSN) on MS Windows please
remember you can only access SYSTEM DSNs from other machines.

If you get an error on connection (e.g. IM002) check and double-check
the following:

[1] Make sure the DSN you are trying to access is a SYSTEM DSN.

[2] Make sure you are using the correct DSN name.

[3] Make sure you are using the correct username and password to log
    on to the Windows machine (e.g. a your NT domain username/password).
    These must be assigned to the odbc.ini attributes LogonUser and
    LogonAuth or specified in the SQLDriverConnect connection string.

[4] Make sure you are using the correct database username and
    password. These are specified in as the odbc.ini attributes TargetUser
    and TargetAuth or as UID and PWD in the SQLDriverConnect connection
    string.

[5] Make sure the database exists and the database engine is running.

Once you have checked the above test the DSN from the Windows machine
using any ODBC application you have available (e.g. MS Access, Excel
etc).
