Moving ODBClink to a new machine or folder
Overview
If you have ODBClink on a Server which is decommissioned and wish to move it to a new one or its installed on a PC and you will need to use it from another then follow the instructions below to move ODBClink
The first step is to work out where ODBClink is installed. The default path is C:\ODBClink for a PC. If not sure you can locate the path by tracing the shortcut on your desktop.
If its installed on a shared folder on your server and your new PC is located in the office then all you need to do is navigate to that folder from the new PC and run the ODBClink.exe from the new PC. The first time its run from that new location a setup wizard will start to capture setup instructions.
If located on your local PC then you need to move that copy to your new machine rather than install a new version of ODBClink. To move ODBClink, cut and paste the ODBClink Folder to the new location.
If you require ODBClink to be shared with an additional user then move the ODBClink Folder to a shared folder.
If you require access to ODBClink from multiple PC's not connected to the office then move the ODBClink Folder to a Syncronised Folder
Here are the steps to move ODBClink from one location to another
