Important Notes:
The application database (PRESAPP.MDB) has been installed on the pc located on Pam Reeds desk in the presidents office along with the .LDB file. The application is located in the C:\presapp directory. A backup copy of it is located in the IS G:\ACCESS\PRODDB directory.

The data database (PRESDATA.MDB) is located on the presidents office G drive in a directory called DATABASE. There is a backup copy of the STRUCTURE of this database located in the IS G:\ACCESS\PRODDB directory. DO NOT REPLACE THE ONE ON THE PRESIDENTS G DRIVE WITH THE BACKUP - ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!! The data is backup up on the server.

The security file (PRESIDEN.MDA) is located on the presidents office G drive in a directory called G:\DATABASE. A backup copy of this file is located in the IS G:\ACCESS\PRODDB but this account DOES NOT contain the same security - it is only useful in the case that the other file is lost - the owner/administrator exists in both files. The username is ISADMIN.

More documenation can be found in the following files:
G:\ADMDOC\PRESAPP.DOC contains installation & user information (not up to date)
 
G:\ADMDOC\PRESAPP.MAN contains 2 documents - both user manuals
 
The Presidents Application manual contains detailed documentation of each stage of the development of this application including security.
