The York System consists of the following files and folders:
The York System is simple to install. The only requirements are that Access 2000 (or Access XP) has been installed on your computer (or you have access to it over a network), and you have at least 23 MB of space free. This includes about 17 MB for the database itself, 4 MB for diagnostic zone image files, and 2 MB for tooth wear image files. The help files are an additional 8 MB, but can be printed out or read from the CD if necessary.
The York System can be installed anywhere on your system. The files are not zipped or compressed in any way on the CD, so simply copy the files and folders to the directory of your choice. Note: you cannot run the database from the CD.
The actual database file, York.mdb, sometimes becomes 'read-only'. If this happens, right-click the database icon, select Properties, and uncheck the 'Read-only' box.
When the database is first opened, it needs to be initialised. This is the first option on the switchboard. For more information, see the switchboard page.
Certain features of Access are best turned off, particularly the messages that remind users rows are being added or deleted to tables. For a full list of these features, and instructions, see the troubleshooting page.
