I think that the wizard is no big help for people not familiar with database terminology (which I am no expert either), for the ODBC case it seems easier to follow the instructions from the documentation which you find on this page: DatabaseLink/tutorial/DatabaseConnections#16139 and then search for: ODBC Connections it is quite straightforward to find that also when just searching for ODBC in the navigation bar. hth, albert
