Chapter 1: Workstation Configuration

Installation Components

In order to use the Client, the three components of this
application must be installed:

Open Data Base Connectivity (ODBC) Driver - enables the

Client application to access data in the database via SQL

Microsoft Access Runtime - engine used for sorting,

searching, and filtering the database when processing a
query

Client application - tool used for generating views from the

database

The ODBC driver and MS Access Runtime are distributed to
the administrator on a CD-ROM. After these components are
installed, the Client application should be downloaded from
8e6’s Web site and installed on the workstation.

NOTE: Before you begin,verify that the CD-ROM includes

folders named MS RUNTIME and ODBC DRIVER. When install-
ing these components, the ODBC Driver folder must be opened
first, followed by the MS Runtime folder.

TIP: If you wish to install a new release of the Client to replace

a prior version of this application on your workstation, refer to the
following instructions under the Download and Install the Client
sub-section in this chapter:
