    This will result in a folder with the same name as the zip file.  Double-click to move into that folder.
  4. Under the folder 1 - Jet Reports - REQUIRED, run the Jet Setup.exe file.

    Only one version of the Jet Excel add-in can be installed at a time.  This makes upgrading your installation quite easy.  By installing a newer version of the Jet Excel add-in, it replaces the older version.

    When upgrading between different versions, it is recommended to completely uninstall Jet before installing the version.

Configuring your Jet Reports Data Source

The Jet Excel add-in supports data source connections to Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, Jet Analytics Cubes, and Jet Analytics Data Warehouses.  In addition, you can define "Universal" data source connections to MSSQL databases as well as most databases that provide an OLE (preferred) or ODBC connector.  Configure the settings for the data source license you received:
