The following instructions will enable you to configure Single-Tier Data Sources for tableview connectivity: Open your client's Data Sources (ODBC) control panel (Start menu >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools, or similar drill-down). Select your DSN from the list, and click Edit. Click to the Progress tab. Remove any existing value from the Database Options field. Also make sure there is no -db value in the Session Options field. (Other flags and values may still be needed in Session Options) Pass -pf X:\path\to\your\tableview_pf_file in Database Options. For example: -pf C:\'Program Files'\OpenLink\Lite32\tableview.pf Pass the full path to your tableview .dat file in the Table View field. For example: C:\'Program Files'\OpenLink\Lite32\tableview.dat Test your connection.
