[mapguide-users] RE: RE: Now a new problem - ODBC connection error

[Andrew DeMerchant]

One correction....you don't need to have the database on the same server 
as Studio. You can have Studio on any computer....but the database DOES 
need to be on the same computer that is running MapServer. (ie. you 
can't be running the server on one computer, and have the database on 
another).
