WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

A new ODBC driver ships with Microsoft Access version 2.0 and will be installed only with Microsoft Access version 2.0.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The Microsoft Access 2.0 driver for Microsoft Office that allows Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows and Microsoft Excel version 5.0 to use Microsoft Access version 2.0 data ships with Microsoft Access version 2.0. This ODBC driver works only with Word and Microsoft Excel, and will not work with Visual C++.

This driver will automatically be installed if you have already installed the version 1.x driver with Word or Microsoft Excel, or if you have Office Professional version 4.3.

When you install this driver, Setup creates a data source for Word. To use the query tool with Microsoft Excel, you must set up your own data source.

While the new ODBC driver will allow you to access both version 1.x and 2.0 databases, you will probably want to use the version 1.x driver for accessing 1.x databases because you will not be able to use the new features in the 2.0 driver with 1.x databases.

= REFERENCES =

For more information on the ODBC driver and setting up data sources, see the DRVACC2.HLP file located in your directory.
