Databases

Keep the following points in mind when using the database functions of P-touch 
Editor 3.2.

• The database function of P-touch Editor 3.2 uses database files that are 

compatible with Microsoft Access 97. By upgrading P-touch Editor 3.2 using a 
program available on the CD-ROM, P-touch Editor will become compatible 
with Access 2000. If P-touch Editor 3.2 has not been updated to Access 2000 
during installation, refer to the Readme file located at Ptouch\Editor\Ac2k on 
the CD-ROM, and start up the program.

• P-touch Editor 3.2 can import files other than .mdb files, such as .csv files. 

Files saved as .csv files with an application such as Microsoft Excel can be 
used with P-touch Editor. Refer to the User’s Guide supplied on the P-touch 
Editor 3.2 CD-ROM for more details.

• Using a function available with Microsoft Access 97, Excel files can be linked 

to .mdb files. With this function, data changed in Excel is automatically 
updated with P-touch Editor.

Transferring Data To/From a Computer

A template, database or a user-defined character image (character not available on the

adapter, the machine will automatically turn off if no key is pressed or no
