Launching Data Access

Options > Data Access Getting Started > Introduction > Launching Data Access

To launch Data Access on a Microsoft windows platform, select Perforce>VIEWS. With Data Access, it is no longer necessary to use dbstudio to design your application. You can use studio (the ivfstudio program) and load the Data Access plug-ins. Data Access provides the following plug-ins:

dbmdstud: Data Access gadgets and tools - Views Data Access license needed

dbmdsql: Data Access SQL gadgets - Views DB Link license needed

dbmdgrap: Data Access grapher gadgets - specific license

dbmdgant: Data Access Gantt chart gadgets -specific license

dbmdchart: Data Access chart gadgets - specific license

dbmdchart30: old Data Access chart gadgets

dbmdinform30: old Data Access gadgets

However, if you want to use dbstudio, you must have a license for the Manager package and install it. After this installation, you can go to the dbstudio directory (bin/dbstudio) to compile it.

The Main window and the Palettes panel appear.
