3 Setting up the Bank Example

3.3 ODBC requirements

In order to run the example, you need to have ODBC version 3.0 (or higher) and an ODBC driver for Microsoft Access installed on the machine hosting the server application. You do not need a copy of Microsoft Access.

Both ODBC 3.x and the Microsoft Access driver are available free for download from the Microsoft Universal Data Access web site:

From the Downloads section, download the Microsoft Data Access Components, version 1.5c or higher, for your Windows platform. You do not need to download the full 6.4MB file -- mdacfull.exe, the MDAC 1.5c redistribution setup file, is only 3.4MB and contains everything you need.

This file installs ODBC 3.x and the Microsoft Access Driver, amongst other things.

This information may change in the future.
