Can't see DSN

Hi all

I'm trying to connect to an Azure SQL database from FileMaker 16. I've added the DSN via ODBC 32bit (see pic). However, when I go to File>Manage>External Data Sources, it doesn't show the DSN.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance

My FileMaker client is 64-bit. So i deleted the ODBC 32-bit DSN and added it to the 64-bit version instead. But it is still not showing in the external data source list.

I can see the DSNs in a newly created local blank database. However when i upload this to our server the DSNs no longer appear. I've enabled ODBC in filemaker server but no joy.

No i just ticked the Enable ODBC/JDBC checkbox on the server. I tried to add the DSN from my client machine. The DSN is on my local machine.....Aaaaand I've just set up the DSN on the server instead and I can now see it!

I take it this is the correct and only way for it to work for a hosted database?
