      Visual DB Script uses JDBC, so to use and manage a Database with VDBScript you must configure DNS.

      Go in "Option Panel" -> "Administrative Tools" -> "ODBC"
      Now you must create a new DNS file (a system link to your real Database), choose the Driver (for example: Microsoft Access Driver *.mdb), choose the pathfile of your existing Database and set a "Name". This name is the "system path" of your Database that VDBScript will use in future connection.

      Now go in VisualDBScript -> Settings
      and set your DNS name as:
      jdbc:odbc:nameofyourDNS
      where nameofyourDNS is the name that you set in ODBC.

      Now VisualDBScript is ready to view, manipulate, manage and use your Database integrated with SQL Queryes!
