Which database type is suitable for eMedia Card Designer?

eMedia Card Designer can use any existing database if an ODBC driver or an OLEDB driver exists. eMedia accesses to the data using the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and is only a front-end to the data. Of course, this includes the ability to retrieve the database structure and data, to print the cards with these data. The only thing you have to do is to install on the computer the correct ODBC or OLEDB driver, then to configure it to access to your own data: in eMedia, select the existing database type corresponding to the database type you have, “ODBC driver” or “Other OLEDB provider”. This must be done in the “Database connection wizard” dialog box that appears when you select the “Database connection” command in the “Tools” menu. Then, configure your access to the database. Never forget that you can test a connection in demonstration mode, and make sure that the solution covers all your needs, before buying a Professional or an Expert license.
