Registering DAO 3.6
Create a directory with the name DAO under System Drive:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared and copy Dao360.dll to this directory. This .dll is provided on the
FaxPress installation CD in the \Microsoft\odbc installation directory.
In addition, Dao360.dll must be registered as a COM DLL. This can be accomplished by
using the Regsvr32.EXE utility, e.g.
RegSvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\Dao360.dll"
Installing ODBC Drivers
Check Status
To check that the required ODBC driver is installed, double-check on the ODBC icon and
inspecting the ODBC Data Source Administrator screen. Select the Drivers tab and
make sure that the driver corresponding to the data source you will be using is available.
Add a New Data Source Name
If your data source is a dBase file, then the Microsoft dBase driver must be available as
a User DSN or a System DSN . To check if the dBase driver is available as a data source,
do the following.
1. Select the User DSN or System DSN tab. Two columns, a Name column and a
Driver column, are displayed.
2. Check to see if the .dbf driver is there.
Look through the list and make sure that the Driver column contains the Microsoft
dBase Driver(*.dbf). The corresponding Name does not matter .
If the driver is not present, look in the other tab (in the above case, check the System
DSN tab ).
Where the dBase driver is located does not matter as long as it is present in one of these
locations. The only difference is that the User DSN can only be seen by the current user
that is logged into the workstation, while the System DSN can be seen by all users who
login to the same workstation .
3. Install the dBase driver if needed.
If you need the dBase driver, you can add it by doing the following.
a. Click
on Add .
b. Select either the User DSN or System DSN tab and click on the Add button.
The Create New Data Source dialog will be displayed .
The list of available drivers depends on the drivers that are currently installed on
the system.
c. Select
the dBase driver .
d. Select the Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf) .
4. Click on Finish .
Click on the Finish button. The
ODBC dBase Setup dialog will appear.
5. Enter a Name and, optionally, a Description .
