Please, if anyone can help me with what I assume should be a fairly simple task, I would be eternally grateful. I'm relatively new to Mac OS (I've done this a million times in Windows). But unless this bundle file is supposed to contain libodbc.dylib (the file/driver reported as missing) then it's worth mentioning that file doesn't even exist on my Mac I've searched for it. Does it contain a 'bundle' of drivers? No idea. Now I have no idea what a bundle file is. Freely re-distributable - include it with your application package. One thing I noticed is that when I added the SQL Anywhere 17 driver, I point (per the instructions) to: /Applications/SQLAnywhere17/System/lib64/dbodbc17.bundle. Replaces ODBC Administrator omitted from Snow Leopard. And I consistently get the error: " Unable to load driver libodbc.dylib" So I return to SQL Anywhere and attempt to connect to a database via "Connect with an ODBC Data Source". Sadly, there's no testing function in the ODBC Administrator to test a DSN. In the end, I created parameters for the all the variables passed in the connection string (UserID, Password, Database File). Depending on what version of help you're looking at, the examples use different parameters. The documentation on this is a little lacking from SYBASE (specifically which parameters are "required"). Then I tried adding a DSN (tested both User and System). Next I added the SQL Anywhere 17 drivers to the ODBC Administrator (by following these steps. Next, I downloaded and installed the ODBC Administrator I read about in multiple posts. I downloaded and installed the SQL Anywhere 17 Developer edition. The SQL Server driver works only with Microsoft SQL Server and cant be used when an Excel workbook is being used as the data source. I'm trying to connect to a SQL Anywhere database through an an ODBC connection on my Mac (running High Sierra). You pointed out that Microsoft Office for Mac comes with a SQL Server ODBC driver and suggest that it would work and gave step-by-step instructions.
