How to connect to Access 2007
On this page you will be provided with
detailed information on how to connect to Access 2007 database. Follow the steps
and screenshots below to configure this connection. Please find the connection
string, as well.
Configuration steps
Before you start to configure your database connection, you
need to create two database tables: "ozekimessagein" and "ozekimessageout".
Figure 1 and Figure 2 demonstrate how these tables should be created.
Figure 1 - "ozekimessagein" database table
Figure 2 - "ozekimessageout" database table
Please note that in our example Access 2007 database is placed
on the desktop (Figure 3).

Now you need to install a
database user in Ozeki NG SMS Gateway. You need to specify the
database connection string for your database server. First select "OleDb" for
"Connection string type". Then provide the following Connection string (Figure 5):

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=PathToYourDatabase;Persist
Security Info=False
|
Please note that you need to provide the path to your
database after "Data Source=" part in the connection string.

Then on "SQL for sending" tab you need to remove apostrophes
