Question on installing GP 2010

Hello,

I had a thread on this but cannot find it anymore. So I have another question on installing GP 2010. First I installed SQL Express 2008 R2. I then installed GP 2010. I was told that the install would create an ODBC connection which I would see when I view them through the control panel. Nothing was added in there and I did not check the box to not create it. So I went ahead and tried to log into GP Utilities and said it could not.

My question is do I need to have an ODBC connection? If so, should I create it manually then? And what should the name be? I've tried searching and cannot find an answer on this.

Thanks,

Warren

    I must have entered the sql server name wrong because I launched SQL Express 2008 and logged in. I saved the instance name and then re-installed GP 2010 using it to make sure I entered it right this time. Then ran utilities and I got in. It is setting everything up now.

    I want to learn with this how to write my own integration software using eConnect. I am a software developer and have worked for a couple companies writing apps to convert the data to be compatible with the integration manager. But I am going to learn more and go beyond doing just that.

    Thanks!!

    YOu are most likely on a 64 bit computer. YOu need to run the 32 bit ODBC administrator to see the Dynamics GP 2010 DSN that was created. YOu will find this in C:\Windows\SYSWOW64 folder and it is called odbc32ad.exe
