VisitorRego.NET requires use of a database to store and manage visitor data. VisitorRego.NET installs with a Microsoft Access database.
VR - Professional gives the option to use either an SQL database or the default Microsoft Access database.
If an SQL database is to be used then there needs to be a SQL server. This SQL server is typically already in place. If the organisation doesn't have an SQL server but wants to use SQL they can install SQL Express which is a free download from Microsoft (or contact us).
With the SQL server in place, the database is created. This is the process of naming the database and allocating disk space.
Once the database is in place the database elements are created. This is done by executing an SQL script that Visitor Registration Ltd supplies. This script can also be found in the directory c:\Program Files\VisitorRego.NET\Res in the file VisitorRego.sql
If an SQL database is to be used it is good idea to contact us and make sure that you have the latest SQL script and VisitorRego version.
