Using MSAccess 97 to Change or Add Data
with Minisoft's ODBC Driver  

Using MSAccess 97

1. Create an updateable DSN in the 32bit ODBC Administrator.

2. Use an Open Mode that allows modification of the database.

3. Use a Password that grants write access.

4. Follow the instructions to create links in MSAccess. 

When you see the Select Unique Record Identifier dialog box, you MUST select a field or combination of fields that contain data that makes each record unique in the dataset.

You can now create Update, Add, or Delete information in your Image Database.

NOTES

1. If you select Open or double clink on the dataset listed in the Tables, MSAccess will attempt to copy all of the data from the dataset to your PC. The intermediate file size is currently limited and may not store all of the dataset. If you receive a warning about the temp file size, please use a query to select a subset of your data.
2. Your changes in datasheet mode take effect when you leave the current record or when you Save Record (shift+enter).
3. MSAccess allows one level of Undo.
