I am uncertain exactly what you mean by 'activate'. If you wish to use the database for a particular scenario, just replace the current commondb.RES file with the new one and then load the scenario made for the WW2 database.

I just replaced the commondb.RES file and was able to start the Scenario Editor. When I selected the Platform Display function (Ctrl+P), I saw WW2 units such as the CV Graf Zeppelin.

If you wish to make changes to the database, you use the MicroSoft Access untility (*.MDB). Open it and Import the WW2 database information. Make your changes and then Export the new database in order to make/play scenarios with it. I have not used the *.MDB file in a long time. I think that they came out with an unofficial new version that does not run with my old copy of MS Access.
