Database Connectivity
REGENT 8 uses ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) to access external data sources. With ODBC you can read several existing data formats and use them in REGENT 8. The operating system Microsoft Windows typically comes with the following ODBC drivers:
32 Bit:
Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)
Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf)
Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)
Microsoft FoxPro Driver (*.dbf)
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver
Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db)
Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt and *.csv files within a directory)
Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver
SQL Server Driver
SQL Server Native Client 11.0
64 Bit:
SQL Server Driver
SQL Server Native Client 11.0
If you have installed a version of Microsoft Office, potentially there are some more ODBC drivers available, especially to read the newer data formats *.accdb of Access and *.xlsx of Excel. If you want to use these data formats without an installation of Microsoft Office or if you need 64 bit ODBC drivers in general, you can download and install the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 from the Microsoft webpage.
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable

There, please choose the 32 bit or the 64 bit alternative - depending on the version of REGENT 8 (32 bit or 64 bit) you use. In addition the following drivers are available:
32 Bit:
Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)
Microsoft Access dBase Driver (*.dbf, *.ndx, *.mdx)
Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)
Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)
64 Bit:
Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)
Microsoft Access dBase Driver (*.dbf, *.ndx, *.mdx)
Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)
Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)
Notice: A simultaneous installation of the 32 bit AND the 64 bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine maybe is not possible.
If you use another database system, you normally can get ODBC drivers from its vendor. Just a few examples:
