Since DBScripter uses ODBC, you'll have to set up a Data Source in the ODBC manager in Windows for any database you wish to access with the product. For that you'll need an Access driver, but you can download that driver from MS at no cost. It would be nice if DBScripter would be ported to LINUX and other UNIX flavors.. :-)
