The java booking sheet is connected to Microsoft Access.
To make a bridge please use the following procedure then the program should fully work.
1. Open Windows' ODBC Data Source Administrator as follows:
* In Windows 95, 98, or NT, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-click the ODBC Data Sources icon. Depending on your system, the icon could also be called ODBC or 32bit ODBC.
* In Windows 2000, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources.
2. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box, click the System DSN tab.
3. Click Add to add a new DSN to the list.
4. Scroll down and select the Microsoft Access (.MDB) driver
5. Type in the name mdbTEST (exactly as typed bold) for the Data Source Name
6. Click CREATE and select a file to save the database to (I chose "C:\BookingSheet\Database\mdbTEST.mdb" but you can select anywhere) - this creates a new blank MS Access database!
7. Click ok all the way out.
Now I hope that this worked well enough for the program to do its job. If not, then why not try it again, I had to do it roughly 2 times on all the computers I put this database on.
Once the database has been made, we need to populate it, I have included a table that you can use to start with, its called diary table. I have put this table within a database called diary_table, please copy the diary from the database to your mdbTEST database.
Hopefully your computer is configured to run jars anywhere.
if not, we can sort that out right now.
In Windows Explorer, choose Tools > Folder Options > File Types tab. Check to see if there is a file type of Executable Jar File:
1. Find your javaw.exe file and make a note of its location For example, mine is C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_02\bin\javaw.exe.
2. If there is already a file type of Executable Jar File:
* Select Edit for the item.
* Select Open as the action.
* Select Edit for the action.
* Skip to step 4.
3. If there is not already a file type of Executable Jar File:
* Select New Type.
* For a description, enter Executable Jar File.
* For a file extension, enter .jar.
* Under Actions, select New.
* In the Action field, enter Open.
4. Change the Application field to: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_02\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %* exactly as bold where the part before -jar is the path you found in step 1.
