6. In the Select Database Driver dialog box, specify whether you want to connect to the source APS database through ODBC, or through one of the native drivers.
7. Click OK.
8. The next steps depend upon the connection type you selected:
   • If you selected ODBC, the Windows "Select Data Source" dialog box appears. Select the ODBC data source that corresponds to the source APS database; then click OK. If prompted, provide your database credentials and click OK.
   • If you selected a native driver, provide your database Server Name, your Login ID, and your Password; then click OK.

     You are returned to the Specify Data Source dialog box. You must now specify the destination APS database whose contents you want to replace with the copied data.
