Running the Address Book Sample Application

To get the Address Book application up and running quickly, follow this procedure.

To run this application

  1. Make sure you meet the system requirements.

  2. Set up the ODBC System DSN.

  3. Run the SQL script to load the data into your Microsoft SQL Server database.

  4. Make sure that Microsoft® SQL Server is running. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 6.5, and then click SQL Service Manager. If the stoplight is green, then SQL Server is running. If it isn't, click Start/Continue.

  5. In Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, type the following address:

    http://webserver/msadc/samples/AddressBook/AddrBook.asp

    where webserver is the name of the Web server where the Remote Data Service server components are installed, and where you created the System DSN.

  6. You can then try various scenarios in the Address Book sample application, such as looking for a person based on his or her e-mail name, listing all persons with the title "Program Manager," or editing and updating existing records. Click on the Find Button to fill the data grid with all the available names.
