| 1. | To set up the ADO-USoft environment make sure you: |
•Have installed both the Microsoft Data Access Components 1.5 and the USoft Remote Rules Service API 7.0. •Can run the developed USoft application as a normal application (via usd.exe from a USoft Binder project). •Have an application development environment that allows you to use ADO, for instance, MS Visual Basic 5. | 2. | In the Control Panel, configure a new ODBC data source based on the "USoft Remote Rules Service API 7.0" ODBC driver. Enter appropriate values in the Data Source Name, Application Name, RDBMS and Server/Database fields. See "How to Complete the ODBC Configuration Dialog" for more information. |
| 3. | Create a new application using your application development environment. For instance, in Visual Basic 5, define a new project and enable the ADO 1.5 ActiveX component (activate Project/References.../Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 1.5 Library). This will import the msado15.dll. |
| 4. | Develop the application, connecting to the USoft application by using SQL statements in ODBC syntax in the ADO script elements. |
