1. Download the appropriate setup file, depending on the version of Access installed on the computer, by clicking on the file name. This is a self extracting zip file.
| Description | File to Download | Contact |
| Access 97 | ADBSetup.exe | Alan Illescas 40775 |
| Access 2000 | ADB2kSetup.exe | Alan Illescas 40775 |
| Access 2003 | ADB2003Setup.exe | Alan Illescas 40775 |
2. Running the file will extract the setup files to C:\ADBSetup. Contact Mike Shane (x62889) for the unzip password
3. After the files are extracted, run C:\ADBSetup\setup.exe and accept all defaults
4. After setup is complete, you can delete the C:\ADBSetup directory. If two or more of the versions will be installed, ADBSetup should be deleted before continuing with the next installation.
5. The setup will create a folder called Academic Database under the Start Programs menu. Run the program once to test the program and so that the ODBC data source may be automatically created. Please have the user type their login id and password and wait to see the main menu to make sure that the program is working
TROUBLESHOOTING
If it takes quite long for the login screen to come up the first time you run the application, or if you get an "ODBC call failed" message after you type your id, check the ODBC data source (Control Panel - Administrative tools - Data Sources (ODBC)).
