What and Where are the Resource Files?
Download now: resources-databases.zip
OR resources-databases.exe.
When the lessons refer to resource files,
it means the files that you need to create the documents in the
projects or to example databases. These are available in two ways:
- to download in a zip file or in a self-extracting exe file use the
links above
- online individually at
http://www.jegsworks.com/Lessons/resources/databases%20resources/, which
will open a list of the files. When you click on a file, you will get a dialog
that asks if you want to Save or Open the file. You should save the file you want to your hard disk
and then open it directly to avoid confusion when you try to save changes.
Database files: Choose Save when downloading an mdb file (a
database).
You chose Open
instead of Save: The file is downloaded to a temporary location on your
computer. Any changes that you make will be saved to this temporary copy. It
will be hard to find again!
Solution: Use the command File | Backup Database... to save a copy of the
database to your Class disk. Then close the temporary copy and open the one
you just saved.
Image files: Choose Save when downloading an image file.
If you choose Open for an image file, the image will open
in a graphics program.
Ask your instructor if these files are already on your computer and, if so,
where.
Download Instructions:
To get these resource files,
click on one of the links above to
download either a zipped set of files (if you have WinZip or similar software
for the PC) or a self-extracting file which will extract the compressed files
for you. (Some folks are intimidated by the exe extension... and for good
reason! This one is safe.)
A download dialog will appear. Choose "Save this program to a
disk." Choose a folder on your hard drive for the file to be downloaded
into.
After the file is downloaded, you need to extract the compressed files. If
you downloaded the zip version, use your WinZip or similar program to do this.
If you downloaded the exe version, find the file in an Explorer or My Computer
window and then double-click on it, resources-databases.exe.
By default, the uncompressed files will be put in c:\My
Documents\complit101\databases\. Of course you can choose a different location
if you wish. Just be sure to remember where you put the files.
The resource files that are Access databases in Access 2000 format so that students using versions of
Access since Access 2000 can use the same files. You
can save the documents that you create or edit in whichever file format suits
your word processor.
