e.g. ODBCINI=/Users/witango/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini ODBCINSTINI=/Users/witango/Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini
The easiest way to set these variables is in the environment.plist file. The OS X environment.plist is documented on Apple's site.
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html
You will need to log out and log back in before the environment.plist takes affect. You can check the environment variables are set by opening a terminal window and typing the following command:
set
This will list all the environment variables set for your user.

Hi Chris
I am actually asking for authentication every time, but for some reason it
will not accept the authentication (I have not been able to authenticate
successfully once). I am thinking that when Dev Studio tries to access the
odbc source it is using a different ODBC config file somewhere. I have
double checked all the configs and they seem OK but there is obviously
something wrong somewhere.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but I have seen this behavior
before when login has been set to be automatic and something is out of
whack with the username and password. In that case:
1) Open the "Properties" menu palette under the "Window" menu bar 2) Open the "Workspace" menu palette (if not already open) and highlight the datasource 3) In the "Properties" palette, click the "Development" tab, then uncheck the box that says "Ask each time" 4) try again
if this doesn't work, check your username and password in the DSN
I hope this helps. Chris

Hi
Is there some neat little document somewhere that explains how to use
ODBC with MacOSX properly? I am running Panther with Dev Studio 5.5
and mySQL. I have created the DSN’s and when I test them using
odbctest they work fine. When I go into the Dev Studio I can see the
DSN’s but when I try and expand them I get an error saying that a
connection could not be made.
Please help!!! Trevor Green
