ODBC Object to use to convert to PostgreSQL?

When I try to convert my PT2 DB to PostgreSQL so I can import it into PT 3 (Which I just bought..), the ODBC option is blank. I can't type in it, and the dropdown gives me no options.

I can't say I am overly familiar with ODBC DSNs, but I have worked with them in the past. What exactly do I have to do to populate that ODBC field so I can convert my database? What type of ODBC object is it looking for?

Just manually export your pt2 database, then manually import it into pt3...
Convert from PT2 to PT3 when PT2 is not using postgresql

Thanks for the answer, I appreciate it.

I did some digging and actually found what happened on my own. Apparently when I downloaded it the first time, I never got the Stack Builder, so it never installed the ODBC drivers I needed.

I'm converting my PT 2 DB now so I can bring it into PT 3. (Am in the middle of it, so don't want to mess with it..just gonna let it go heh)

Thanks again.
