-
- Important: Before You Use Microsoft Access with Microsoft
- Windows for Workgroups
- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- While running Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, if you use the
- Network button in Microsoft Access dialog boxes to connect
- to a password-protected server, you may lose data. To avoid
- damaging your database, you must install the updated Microsoft
- Windows for Workgroups Driver included with Microsoft Access.
- Until you have installed this driver, do not use the Network
- button in Microsoft Access dialog boxes to make network
- connections.
-
- Note: If you are considering installing Windows for Workgroups
- at a later date, install the updated driver now.
-
- To install the updated Windows for Workgroups Driver:
-
- 1 Exit Microsoft Windows or Windows For Workgroups.
-
- This driver cannot be installed while you are running
- Microsoft Windows.
-
- 2 Insert the ODBC disk in drive A.
-
- 3 Type a:wfwdrv
-
- * If Windows is installed on your PC, but is not in your
- PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT, enter the path where
- Windows is installed. For example, type:
-
- a:wfwdrv c:\windows.
-
- * If Windows is installed on the network, specify the system
- directory where USER.EXE is found. For example, to install
- the driver into the q:\system directory type:
-
- a:wfwdrv q:\system
-
- 4 Type win to restart Windows.
