Hi @Upali_Wijearatne,

There are many how-to walkthroughs and YouTube videos available if you do a Google search. Some Qlik resources are listed below:

If you have already reviewed all of these and are still experiencing issues, what error are you receiving?

Best Regards

For ODBC, that error message typically refers to the incorrect driver version > 32-bit or 64-bit. Have a look at The Great ODBC Confusion from the Qlik Design Blog. See also the Qlik Support article ODBC connection to SQL Server fails with error: Error: SQL##f - SqlState: 08001, ErrorCode: 17, ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

As stated previously, typically this error indicates that you have the incorrect version of the driver as described in the Qlik Design Blog post The Great ODBC Confusion. If you are unable to get this sorted with an ODBC driver, you can try with an OLE DB driver.
