The Import Utility supports only Microsoft dBase drivers for .dbf files. Therefore, it is important to properly build the correct profiles. The following steps are necessary to work with the Import Utility default parameters.
In 64-bit environments, certain ODBC profiles and drivers cannot be seen by the SmartPlant
software. Additionally, they cannot be added from the Windows Control Panel. To add or view these profiles and drivers you need to use the 32-bit version of
the Data Sources which is found under %Systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe.
-
In your Windows operating system open Administrative Tools > Data Sources.
-
On the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog, select Add.
Select Add on either the User DSN or System DSN tab, whichever is appropriate.
-
On the Create New Data Source dialog, from the Name list select the Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf).
-
Select Finish.
-
On the ODBC dBASE Setup dialog, type in the Data Source Name and Description for your database.
-
In the Database group box, select an appropriate Microsoft dBase version.
-
Check the Use Current Directory check box.
If the Use Current Directory check box is not selected, the driver will not be able to find the correct files.
-
Select OK.
