  5. Specify a Log File Path and click Start Tracing Now.

  6. Run Alpha Anywhere and perform the test or execute the script you want to trace. It helps if you keep the test as simple as possible to minimize the size of the trace file.

  7. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to go back to the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog and click the same button (now labeled Stop Tracing Now).
