Tom et al:
I've posted a
guide on getting connected to the RAPIDS3 database from Access here: http://gis.glin.net/wiki/display/RAPIDS/Connecting+to+RAPIDS+3.x+From+Access
Please let me know if you
encounter any problems, and feel free to edit this wiki entry if something isn't
clear/etc.

I have followed Mark's instructions. The IP address is provided
to you and you have included
the IP in your system security. Also, I have successfully installed
the ODBC
driver in my list of System DSN.
Can you briefly describe the steps in connecting Access with
RAPIDs3.0?
Thanks.
Tom.

And ODBC data source can be used MS Access, InfoMaker, FoxPro, etc. to access the database on the server. Before you can complete the connection to GLC, you'll need to provide Pete Giencke with the external IP address range for your agency. Someone in IT/IS should know what IP address range your agency is using. If you want to find out your own external IP address, go to the following page: http://whatsmyip.org/ Your address will appear at the top of the page. If you send that to Pete (pgiencke@glc.org), he can work with it. The current database on the GLC server is development version 03 (rapids_dev03). This contains the last version of the core database structure we discussed in the group. As updated versions become available, I'll let everyone know. Thanks, Mark Young |
