If you’re having trouble connecting to a database with EnLabel on a 64-bit Windows PC, you may need to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine (MADE). This engine facilitates smooth data transfers between Microsoft Office system files (e.g Excel spreadsheets and Access databases) and non-Microsoft applications like EnLabel.
To simplify this process, we’ve hosted the required files on our web portal. Choose the version that works best for your needs below:
Option 1: Download and Install MADE 2010 (recommended):
The recommended solution is to download and install Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 (32-bit), which is fully compatible with EnLabel V6. Follow these steps:
- Download Microsoft Database Engine (32-bit) 2010 from our web portal using the following link: accessdatabaseengine2010
- Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Option 2: Download and Install MADE 2016 (advanced)
If you prefer, you can use the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 (32-bit). This version requires a quiet installation via Command Prompt with administrator privileges to avoid conflicts on 64-bit Windows systems. Follow these steps:
