Technical Support
Business4Mobile consists of two modules:
- An administration application installed on a Windows PC,
- A PHP module installed on an IIS or Apache web server with PHP support.
Business4Mobile accesses your databases using an ODBC link. You must create a DSN (Data Source Name) for the Administration application and for the server module to access each of those databases.
A link to the instructions on how to create a DSN can be found on the right hand side of this page.

This application allows you to:
- Create the queries used by Business4Mobile
- Import existing queries from your applications
