[mapguide-users] Database connections in MapGuide Studio

[Sacha Genoud]

Hello,

you can set odbc in the 'Select a feature provider' by copying the FDO 
directory from Autodesk Studio to the Mapguideopensource FDO Directory. 
I can choose ODBC,
but 'Creating a New Feature Join'  will not work.

Regards

Sacha
