Club Option Pack

Important Information. Please Read

In the latest version of Club Database Manager, the format of the club membership database has changed slightly. There's no need for you to take any action because your database will automatically be upgraded the first time you run the new version. However the new format is not compatible with older versions of the Club Option Pack. That means there is no easy regression path and if you are running Club Database Manager on more than one computer you must upgrade all of them.

You are strongly advised to make a backup copy of your membership database before upgrading to the latest version of the Club Option Pack. To make a backup copy of your membership database, start your existing Club Database Manager, click on the File menu and choose Archive database.

The Club Option Pack uses a Microsoft component called Microsoft Data Access Components, or MDAC. Unfortunately Microsoft release new versions of MDAC more often than most people change their trousers. The Club Option Pack requires MDAC version 2.7 or later but Microsoft commercial rules prevent me from shipping this with the product.

To ensure you have a suitable version of MDAC, visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/mdac/downloads/default.aspx. At the time of writing, the latest version was MDAC 2.8 SP1. I recommend that you download and install the latest MDAC version before attempting to use the Club Option Pack. If your MDAC is already up to date, this will do no harm.

If you have any problems with installation, please see the notes at the end of this web page.
