Create Your Own Database for DaoEnrol

If you are using a database format other than Microsoft Access, and you have created a database to use with this tutorial, follow these steps:

To create your own database for DaoEnrol

• Create a new database schema using the database administration capability of your DBMS.

  Depending on the type of DBMS, you might create the new database on a server that is different from the machine where you will be doing MFC database development. In either case, you need to add tables to the new database to match the schema of StdReg32.mdb. You must also install the ODBC driver that corresponds to your DBMS, and register the database with the ODBC Administrator, as described in Lesson 1 of Enroll.

Note   When you run a Typical Visual C++ Setup, the ODBC drivers for dBase, FoxPro, Access, and SQL Server are installed automatically. You can rerun Setup (or choose a Custom installation the first time you run Setup) to install drivers for Paradox, Microsoft Test, Excel, and Oracle. If you need an ODBC driver not provided with Visual C++, you must use the installation program shipped with the program to install it, and use ODBC Administrator to register it.
