For installation instructions for the example databases and CD book please read the README.TXT file.

README.1STThe PIMCODE.MDB and the PIMDATA.MDB databases have been developed to work on thesystem at Wrox Press. The database will not work if you run it directly from theCD-ROM. You must install the two MDB files onto your hard disk and redefine theattachments.

To do this, by selecting the default installation setup of C:\WROX,

1. Open PIMCODE.MDB2. Hit Quit and unhide the database window from File3. Select Attachment Manager from File, Add-ins4. Select all four tables and hit OK5. Select PIMDATA.MDB using the file selector dialog box

The table attachments will be refreshed and the PIMCODE.MDB will now work.Run the Find Form form and the database will operate properly.

README.TXTThis file contains setup instructions for the example databases, tools and hypertext book included on this CD.

EXAMPLE DATABASES

To set up the example databases run the SETUP.EXE from the SAMPSET directory on the CD. You can do this by double clicking on the file name in File Manager.

This creates a WROX directory on your C drive and creates a program group called "Rev Guide to Access" in your Program Manager which contains all the example databases used throughout the book.

You can then simply double-click on the necessary icon to run that database.

You will have to copy all other necessary files (Text files, spreadsheets etc.) from the EXAMPLES/FILES directory on the CD into this WROX directory. A full list of the files required is in the CONTENTS.TXT file on this CD.

TOOLS

All the tools included with the CD are in the TOOLS directory. You can run these directly from the CD or copy them onto your hard drive.

CD BOOK

To setup the hypertext book on your hard drive, run the SETUP.EXE file from the BOOK directory on the CD. This installs the necessary viewer files and creates a program group called "Revolutionary Guides" in your Program Manager.

To run the book, simply double-click on the "Revolutionary Access" icon.
