Taking data from an existing file by ODBC

Data from a wide range of databases and other files can be used by ODBC - datasources available on your computer will depend on what you have installed. This example uses a Microsoft Access database.

From the Database menu select File and then the ODBC/DAO tab on the database dialog.

Check the Use ADO/ODBC data source check box, then push the Build button

[Note that if you wish to reset the field names on the labels to match those of the imported data then you will need to return to the element editor and point the data source for each element to the new field names. For the time being it is best to leave the names as they are.]
