The ODBC drivers are 32-bit only and are designed for use by ODBC- compliant, 32-bit programs running under Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT(TM) 3.51. Note that the ORACLE 7.0 and 7.1 drivers are designed only for Windows NT(R) and not Microsoft Windows 95.

To set up the ODBC drivers, you must have one of the following 32-bit ODBC-compliant programs installed on your computer:
To use the ORACLE 7.0 ODBC drivers, you must have a 32-bit version of SQL*Net(R) installed on your computer. For information about obtaining the 32-bit version of SQL*Net, please contact Oracle Corporation at (800) 345-DBMS.

Installation

To install the Microsoft ODBC drivers, do the following:
  1. If you are running Windows 95, click the Start button, and then click Run. (If you are running Windows NT, choose Run from the File menu in Program Manager or File Manager.)


  2. In the Open box (or in the Command Line box in Windows NT), type the following command, and then click OK

  3. When the Setup program asks if you want to install the Microsoft ODBC drivers, type y and press ENTER.


  4. Follow the setup instructions on the screen. Note that the Setup program also runs the ODBC Administrator (Odbcad32.exe), which enables you to set up data sources for the Microsoft ODBC drivers.

END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT SOFTWARE
IMPORTANT_READ CAREFULLY: This Microsoft End-User License Agreement
("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single
entity) and Microsoft Corporation for the Microsoft software accompanying
this EULA, which includes computer software and may include associated
media, printed materials, and "online" or electronic documentation
("SOFTWARE PRODUCT" or "SOFTWARE"). By exercising your rights to make and
use copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, you agree to be bound by the terms of
this EULA. If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, you may not use
the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. Software PRODUCT LICENSE

The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and international
copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and
treaties. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This EULA grants you the following rights:

   Use with Microsoft Excel, Project, Word, FoxPro, Microsoft
   Access, and/or Office for Windows (individually, "MS Application").
   If you license the SOFTWARE for use in conjunction with one or more
   MS Application(s), the terms and conditions of the end user license
   agreement you received with such MS Application(s) apply to the
   SOFTWARE, except that you have the additional right to make and use
   up to that number of copies of the SOFTWARE equal to the number of
   copies of such MS Application(s) that you have licensed. Note: you
   may make only one copy of the SOFTWARE for each unit of Microsoft
   Office for Windows that you have licensed.

   Developing applications using the Visual Basic for Applications ("VBA")
   component of MS Applications. In addition to the rights set forth in
   Section 1(a) above, Microsoft grants you the nonexclusive, royalty-free
   right to reproduce and distribute the object code version of the
   SOFTWARE, provided you comply with Section 5 herein.

   Developing applications using Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit,
   Visual C++, Microsoft FoxPro, or Visual Basic (individually, "MS
   Development Tool").

   (i) If you license the SOFTWARE for use in conjunction with an MS
   Development Tool, you may make and use up to the number of copies of the
   SOFTWARE equal to the number of copies of MS Development Tools that you
   have licensed. Each copy of the SOFTWARE must be used on a single
   computer. The SOFTWARE is "in use" on a computer when it is loaded into
   temporary memory (i.e., RAM) or installed into permanent memory (e.g.,
   hard disk, CD-ROM, or other storage device) of that computer. However,
   installation on a network server for the sole purpose of internal
   distribution to one or more other computer(s) shall not constitute "use"
   for which a separate license is required, provided you have a separate
   license for each computer to which the SOFTWARE is distributed. You may
   make an unlimited number of copies (either in hard copy or electronic
   form) of any electronic documents included with the SOFTWARE, provided
   that such copies shall be used for internal purposes and are not
   republished or distributed beyond the user's premises. In addition,
   Microsoft grants you the nonexclusive, royalty-free right to reproduce
   and distribute the object code version of the SOFTWARE provided you
   comply with Section 5 herein, and subject to Section 1(c)(ii) herein.

   (ii) The following additional restrictions apply if you use the SOFTWARE
   other than solely for internal business purposes. (For applicable
   licensing terms for all such uses of the SOFTWARE, please contact
   Microsoft Corporation at (425) 703-4515.) (1) You may commercially
   distribute the SOFTWARE only in conjunction with and as part of your
   software product to which you have added significant and primary
   functionality and value. (2) Unless your software product requires your
   customer to license Microsoft Office for Windows, or a component of it,
   in order to operate, you may not reproduce or use the SOFTWARE for
   commercial distribution in conjunction with a general purpose word
   processing, spreadsheet, or database software product, or an integrated
   work or product suite whose components include a general purpose word
   processing, spreadsheet, or database management software product except
   for the exclusive purpose of importing or exporting data to the various
   formats supported by the SOFTWARE and included in your application
   (e.g., reading data from and writing data to a single data source at one
   time). Note: a product which includes limited word processing,
   spreadsheet, or database components along with other components that
   provide significant and primary value, such as an accounting product
   with limited spreadsheet capability, is not considered to be a "general
   purpose" product.

2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.

   must: (i) distribute the SOFTWARE in object code only in
