Running DBWizard

File Menu

You can create, open and save DBWizard (DBW) files. The DBW file contains the database
connection, all queries you have generated and all the information about the webserver connection
and NetLinx code parameters. You can save your work in DBWizard; if you have a small change to
make, you can add it to your existing database queries.
You should note that DBwizard will re-generate the AXI file listed in the "NetLinx AXI File" text
box. Any changes you made in NetLinx Studio will be overwritten by DBWizard. You should avoid
customizing the AXI file generated by DBWizard by including the AXI into and AXS
programming and doing your customization in the AXS file.
The DBWizard file contains absolute paths for the database, APS and AXI files. If you move the
project, you will be prompted to look for the database. Use the provided dialog to browse to the
database.
The normal File menu:

Database Tab

Under the Database tab, select the database you intend to connect to. You can either browse and
open a Microsoft Access database (.MDB file), or open a Data Source Name connection. Data
Source Names can connect to any ODBC compliant database, as long as you have the ODBC driver
installed for the database. You will also need to have the ODBC driver installed on the PC running
the web server.
Select a database and click Open. Once a database is opened, you can build your queries and
generate NetLinx code.
When connecting to an ODBC database via the Data Source Name connection, if the
database requires a username and password authentication, you can add the
username and password in the appropriate fields at the bottom of the DSN tab.
