== Overview ==

Developer mode turns various options on which allows debugging ODBClink. It will ensure the temporary files generated during get data are retained on your system.

== How to turn on developer mode ==

To turn on developer mode, follow these steps.

# Start '''ODBClink''';
# From the '''Command Centre''', click '''Return to Menu''';
# From the '''Menu''', select '''30 Settings''', then '''Options''';
# Click '''Set User Options''';
# From the user options dialogue, select '''Toolbars''' on the left-hand side;
# Tick '''Show Developer Toolbar''';
# Click '''Save''' and '''Close''';
# From '''Excel''', select the '''Addins''' tab in the ribbon;
# Click the '''first button of the developer toolbar'''. It looks like ruler and set-square.

=== Notes ===

* The developer mode must be turned on each and everytime ODBClink starts. It is not retained or remembered between sessions. This is by design to ensure you don't need to remember to turn it off.
