Implementing Jet Professional: Prerequisites

Jet ReportsThis post is part of a series of posts on implementing Jet Reports and is part of the Jet Professional sub-series.

Over the last couple of posts, I’ve been taking a look at Jet Express, which is the lowest tier of Jet Reports. The next tier, is Jet Professional, formerly known as Jet Essentials, which is a much more flexible and capable reporting tool.

Before installing Jet Professional, there are some prerequisites for both the server and client components:

  • Database Connection
    • Microsoft Dynamics GP version 9 or later
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later**
    • OLE or ODBC compliant database
  • Excel Addin
