----------------------------------------
General Product Information:
  Product Name:	DATA WIZ	("the software")
  Release Date:	April 18, 2001
  Version Number:	4.0
  Platform:		WIN 9.x, Me, NT, 2000
  Copyright:	2001 First Idea Software 
  Other System Requirements:
This software has no special system requirements. If your computer is capable of 
running one of the operating systems listed beside Platform above, it will be 
capable of running the software.

License Information:
Data Wiz is distributed either as a commercial demo, or as fully licensed 
software. The demo has no time expiry, but it is limited to 10 uses. Each time 
you use it, the program will tell you how many trials it has left. After the 
trial expires, you will be unable to run the program anymore until you purchase 
and install the licensed version. Other than limiting the number of uses, the 
demo version is identical in functionality to the licensed version.

Data Wiz costs only $75 (U.S.) per user.
Multi-license discounts are available, as described on the registration form.

Distribution Rights and License Agreement:
You are free to distribute the demo setup executable without limitation except 
that you may not alter the file contents in any way. This README file must be 
included. If you purchased the licensed version from First Idea Software, you 
may NOT distribute this copy to any other party. You are licensed to install the 
software on a maximum of 2 computers that are owned by you, provided the 2 
copies are not used simultaneously. For example, you may wish to install the 
software on a computer at work, and on one at home. This is permissible as long 
as the two installations are not being used by two different people. You may 
not, however, install the software on two computers in the same location to be 
used by two different people. To do this, you must purchase two licenses.

Installation Issues: 
The software uses the Windows Installer service to ensure a smooth installation 
and removal process. Depending on which setup file you received or downloaded, 
the setup may or may not include the update to the Windows Installer service. If 
your computer is running Windows 2000, you do not need to worry, because the 
Windows Installer service is built into Windows 2000. If you are running Windows 
9.x or Windows NT, the Windows Installer service may need to be updated.
The setup routine will automatically detect if the correct version of the 
Windows Installer service is installed on your computer. If it is not, the setup 
program will update your computer if it is included. If the setup file you 
received does not include the correct update for your operating system, you can 
download it from the download page at http://www.firstideasoftware.com.


Description of the Software: 
Data Wiz will create Visual Basic DAO code to exactly duplicate a Microsoft Jet™ 
database. There are other tools available that perform this task with varying 
degrees of success. None that we are aware of, though, does it as precisely and 
completely as FIS Data Wiz. Data Wiz examines the table structure of your 
database, and creates a text file or a standard module with one procedure to 
create each table you specify, plus a procedure to create the indexes, and 
another one to create the relationships. It precisely recreates all fields, 
properties, indexes, and relationships, including defaults and field validation 
rules. The only thing that version 4 does not do is map table validation rules 
and field descriptions. These features will be added to a later update that will 
be available for free to registered users.

Data Wiz runs either as a standalone application, or as an Access add-in. The 
setup program includes an add-in for both Access 97 and Access 2000. To install 
the add-in when installing Data Wiz, ensure that you select the appropriate 
version of the add-in for the version of Access you are running. Then, run the 
add-in configuration utility by selecting the icon from the First Idea Software 
program folder on your Start Menu. Select "First Idea Software Database 
Duplication Wizard" and select "Display in First Idea Software Add-In Manager" 
and/or "Display on Access Add-Ins Menu".


Issues related to removing the software:
1. If you have configured the add-in to appear on the Microsoft Access Add-Ins 
menu, the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet may not remove these items. 
Therefore, if you wish to uninstall Data Wiz, you should run the configuration 
utility and clear the "Display on Access Add-Ins Menu" box before uninstalling 
the application.

2. Using the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet is the recommended way to 
remove Data Wiz. Depending on the configuration of your machine, however, this 
may unregister the DAO360.dll in Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft 
Shared\DAO. This may cause problems with other applications (including Microsoft 
Office 2000) that use DAO 3.6. The problem occurs because the Microsoft Office 
2000 setup program does not seem to register this as a shared file in every 
case. If you have Microsoft Office 2000 and remove Data Wiz, you can resolve 
this problem simply by clicking the Start button, choosing Run, and running the 
following command:

Regsvr32.exe /v "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\dao360.dll"

You may need to change the path depending on the configuration of your computer. 
If you do not have regsvr32 on your computer, it can be obtained from the 
following website:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q161/9/83.ASP

In extremely rare circumstances, the Windows Add/Remove program may actually 
delete dao360.dll. This did not happen in our testing, but if it occurs on your 
computer, you can reinstall it either by re-running the Office 2000 setup 
program, or you can obtain the setup file required to reinstall Jet only from 
the following website:
