Connect the Application to Your Vantagepoint Database

After the ODBC driver is installed and configured, make a connection between the workstation and the Vantagepoint database, using any application that supports ODBC connectivity.

The instructions below use Microsoft Excel as an example. The process for other applications may not be exactly the same, but will be very similar.

To connect to the Vantagepoint database:

  1. Go to the application from which you want to connect to the Vantagepoint database and initiate an ODBC connection.
  2. Select the data source that you entered in the Data Source field when you configured the ODBC driver.
  3. Enter your credentials for the database connection.
  4. Build a query.
  5. Execute the query.
