wine users - Dec 2006 - Setting up ODBC with wine

Hello all,

I try to setup weight watchers Points Plan. It runs fine exept it needs 
ODBC. I installed unixODBC on my Gentoo Box which got me one step 
further. Atm I have the Problem that the App Complains that it does not 
know what to do with the ODBC access it demands.

Here the exact Error message of ODBC:
[unixODBC][Driver Manager] Data Source Name not found, and no default 
driver specified.

Could it be that there is a propretary Database shipped with the app 
useing the windownative ODBC as a relypoint?
Something like:
App -> ODBC -> Own Database ?

Or do I need to configure something that this works?
I am somewhat stuck. I am grateful for any source of Documentation, 
knowledge, Ideas that may help me.

Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,

is there a special reason why you don't use the windows ODBC drivers?

I guess that the easiest way is to use them if your program (as I expect) uses 
MSSQL. I already set up several programs and all run fine (at the end ;-)

cu,

Stefan

I think the MS ODBC Drivers should be delivered with your software, or there 
should be a section in the readme how to install them.
If the ODBC drivers are free, I see no problem in using them native, 
especially if they were delivered with your software.

Filing an app report is a good idea even if it doesn't work ;-)
