Step 1: Adding Localization Tables to a Database

The Help topic Localization Tables contains a list of all localization tables needed for an MM .NET Windows or Web Forms application. You can place these tables in your main application database or in another secondary database.

Automatically Adding Localization Tables to your Database

If you are working with SQL Server or MSDE, you can run a script, MMLocalize.sql, that automatically creates these tables for you.

To run this script:

Launch the SQL Server Query Analyzer tool, and in the Connect to SQL Server dialog enter the connection information needed to connect to SQL Server, and then click OK.
In the toolbar, click the Open button. In the Open Query File dialog, navigate to the \Program Files\MM .NET Framework 2026202\MM .NET Framework Wizards\Scripts directory, select the MMLocalize.sql file, and click the Open button.
This displays the MMLocalize.sql script file in the Query window:
Go towards the top of the script file and locate this command:
```
use <Localization Database>
```
Change <Localization Database> to the name of your localization database. For example:
```
use Northwind
```
To run the script, press F5, or select the Execute Query button from the toolbar.

When the script is finished executing, you should have all the MM .NET localization tables in your database.

Manually Adding Localization Tables to your Database

If you are not using SQL Server or MSDE, you need to manually add the security tables to your database. For a list of all tables and their structure, see the Help topic Security Tables.
