SS,
I have experienced this problem.
You might want to try shortening the ODBC call in the .afl so that it only
includes "DSN=xxxx" (like:
odbcOpenDatabase("DSN=Fundamentals");
).
Just make sure you've tested the settings in the ODBC window in windows (if
you're using windows) and that it works properly.
I have found that when i include password, username, etc. in the .afl code,
that it'll bring me to the windows screen where i have to click on System DSN
tab. There ARE workarounds if you keep getting that screen (like vTask studio,
etc.) but that is a bandaid.

Subject: [amibroker] odbc mysql keeps asking for datasource
I have installed the odbc dll's and set it all up and I am getting
symbols and data via odbc to mysql into AB, but I am seeing that every
time I launch AB or click ok out of the database settings window it is
asking me to select the odbc connection. I have to click to machine
source and select the odbc connection I made in xp. It works fine,
but I am not sure why it has to pop-up every time...?
