Making Views Visible
To provide your users with access to the corporate phone book views you created, assure
the following requirements are met:
1. ODBC drivers should be installed and properly configured on your users worksta-
tions. We recommend that you upgrade the ODBC drivers to the latest version 3.5
which we ship on the FaxPress CD (under Microsoft/ODBC directory)
2. Make sure that the users have access to the specific databases.
„
If you are using Microsoft Access or any other file based database, all users
must have access to the file server where the database file resides.
„
If you are using an SQL type database, then by default FaxPress will use the
account set up by the administrator to log into the database for all users. If
this log on fails, FaxPress will require each user to setup their own data source
name (DSN).
3. If you are connecting to an SQL database such SQL server which requires a Data
Source Name’ (DSN) to be setup on the user’s workstation, and you have followed
the above process to first setup the DSN on your (administrator) workstation and
created the database connection and views.
4. If you are connecting to a file based database such as Microsoft Access, you need
to specify a UNC path to the file such that all your users can use the same path to
access the file. You also need to make sure they sufficient security privileges to
access the file. You will need to provide Read/Write access to the directory where
the file is located, but Read Only privilege to the file itself, since the users will not
be able to change the database files, not will they be able to add entries to that
phone books through FaxPress Plus.
