Setting up the ODBC
driver
After you install the ODBC driver, you will need to set up the Microsoft
Access database as the data source for the GMO application:
1
Exit the GMO application, if it is running
Click File/Exit.
2
Open the Database Administrator dialog
From the Windows Start menu, click Settings/Control Panel/Data
Sources (ODBC).
From the Windows2000 Start menu, click Settings/Control Panel/
Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC).
3
Add a User DSN
Click the User DSN tab. Click Add.
4
Select a driver
Select Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb). Click Finish.
5
Name the data source
Enter Green2 as the Data Source Name. Click Select.
6
Select the database
Browse to the GMO installation directory. (The default directory
location is C:\Program Files\Borland\SilkTest\Gmo.) Select
green2.mdb. Click OK.
7
Close the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup dialog
Click OK.
8
Close the ODBC Data Source Administrator
Click OK.
9
Start the GMO application.
From the Start menu choose Programs/Green Mountain Outpost/
GMO.
Note The GMO installation provides not only the Access database
file, green2.mdb, but also a back-up copy of that file, called green2-
base.mdb. The copy allows you to experiment with the database and
still have a copy of the original information to which you can restore
the database.
