*** Important ***** Installation Instructions.... The unregisterd version of VB Data Companion does not come with a setup and installation procedure. To do so would increase the download time of the zip file considerably. To avoid any setup and execution problems I would recommend you did the following procedure... 1. Unzip the files in DC.ZIP to a directory of your choice eg. c:\dc 2. Move the VBX and DLL files to your windows\system directory 3. Make an Icon of the dc.exe on your desktop with the Windows Program Manager VB Data Companion provides the VB programmer with all the utilities necessary to create, maintain, and query Access 1.1 and 2.0 Databases. VB Data Companion allows the VB programmer to easily manipulate the data dictionary of an Access database, and to perform common maintenance on the Dictionary without having to write programs. It also has a powerful SQL Query By Example tool, enabling you to build complex SQL statements simply by pointing and dragging objects across the screen. VB Data Companion also allows the programmer to edit the contents of a returned SQL Dynaset in a fully editable grid. If you develop programs with VB 3.0 and want to work with Access Databases, then VB Data Companion is indispensable ! Enjoy !
