To connect to a particular database:

  1. Select the database by clicking on the icon data.gif (477 bytes) that represents the database.

  2. Enter the login information (i.e., User ID, Password and Host Name).  If the login information is pre-configured in the Window's ODBC Data Source Administrator, then all you need to do is to click the Connect button without entering the login information.

Once connected to the selected database, you can left-click to drill down to display the structure of the selected database as shown in the screen shot below.
