INSTRUCTIONS FOR ODBC BASED SQL ACCESS
You can download the ODBC driver for Windows from
ftp://ftp.zipcon.net/pub/odbc/myodbc-2.50.19-win95.zip
After running this file, it will install the appropriate ODBC driver for the
Zipcon web servers.
Here are instructions for updated your SQL database with MS Access.
1) Start MS Access.
2) Click on the Tables tab of your database.
3) Highlight the table to export.
4) Select 'Save as/Export...' from the File menu.
5) Choose 'To an External File or Database', click OK.
6) In the 'Save as type' pulldown box, select 'ODBC Databases ()'.
Click OK.
7) In the Export window, its best to use all lowercase and no spaces.
If you do use spaces, they will be converted to underbar '_' characters.
8) Click on the 'Machine Data Source' tab of the 'Select Data Source'
window.
9) If you have 'MySQL' in the list, select it and press OK, and make sure
the server, database, username, and password fields are correct.
If you do not have 'MySQL' in the list:
a) Click the 'New...' button.
b) Select 'System (or User if you prefer) Data Source', press Next.
c) Select 'MySQL', press Next and Finish.
d) In the MySQL Driver Setup window, do the following:
For 'Database', but in your Zipcon assigned database name.
For 'Server', put in your domain name (www.YOURDOMAIN.com).
For 'User Name' put in your Zipcon assigned login name.
For 'Password' put in your Zipcon assigned password.
e) Press OK, and OK. That should export the data to the SQL
server.
10) Done!
