ReadMe for A2ZBooks Patch for Spectra 1.5
Created: January 18, 2001
Written b: Raymond Camden

====================================================================================

The following ReadMe describes how to make the Access database for A2ZBooks work 
correctly with Spectra 1.5. Please note, however, that the best thing to do is to
upsize the Access database into SQL Server, or some other enterprise server properly
supported by Spectra 1.5.

The patch contains files created by Rich Ragan of Syntegra, inc. 

====================================================================================

First, rename the following four files in the 
<spectra install>\customtags\system\coapi\utils folder:

cfa_recorddelete
cfa_recordinsert
cfa_recordselect
cfa_recordupdate

You may rename them to anything you like. Copy the four corresponding files from the
Zip archive into this folder.

Copy the database file from the zip to anywhere on your web server.

Go into your ColdFusion Administrator and create a DSN called A2ZBooks that points
to the database you extracted.

Go to your Webtop and create and application object called a2zbooks and point it to your
DSN. Actually, if you want, you can wait until the book tells you to do so.

====================================================================================

Notes:
This patch has _not_ been completely tested. It seems to work, but as we said at the
beginning, you should upsize the Access file to SQL Server or some other supported
database.

The way the patch works is by doing a check on the current Application or DSN and looking
for 'a2zbooks.' If you want to add generic Access support to your Spectra server, you could
modify the code in the 4 tags to instead look for "_Access" in your DSN or application 
object. Then Spectra would have Access support if you name your application or DSN
appropriately.
