r-Access v1.2 Installation
--------------------------

r-Access is a database management system that provides fast and convenient way to view/edit remote (web hosted) databases over the Internet. Software consists of two parts: Client and Server. Server part should be installed on your web server to access databases and supply Client with data. Client is a Windows application allowing to browse database tables, edit/delete/add records.

Requirements
------------

1. Server
- ASP.NET web hosting

2. Client
- Windows 98, 2000, 2003, NT, ME, XP

Server Installation
-------------------

Server comes in zip archive raccess_srv.zip. Extract it into a temporary folder on your computer. Extracted files are:
- rAccessSrv.asmx
- Web.config
- bin\rAccessSrv.dll
- bin\Microsoft.Data.Odbc.dll

Suppose your website directory is "YourSite". The "YourSite" directory should be configured as Internet Information Services (IIS) Web application (if you use shared hosting, contact your hosting provider to do it). To deploy the r-Access Server copy Web.config file into "YourSite" directory, place rAccessSrv.asmx file into "YourSite" directory or any subdirectory, place Microsoft.Data.Odbc.dll and rAccessSrv.dll into "YourSite\bin" directory. A typical installation would have the following directory structure:

\YourSite
   Web.config
   rAccessSrv.asmx
   \Bin
      rAccessSrv.dll
      Microsoft.Data.Odbc.dll

If you use r-Access to edit Microsoft Access databases in order to allow r-Access write data to your database you should set "Write" permission for ASPNET user for a folder containig your database. If you use shared hosting, contact your hosting provider to do it.
