OPEN DATABASE FILE VERSION

The Open Database File Version is an .mdb file which can be modified using Microsoft® Access.

With the Open Database File Version, you may make functional modifications to the database for use within your own company at one location. You may not remove the Liberty Labs logo or TRAIN TRACK trademark, or modify the "About" dialog. You may not distribute any part of the software or code to anyone else.

DO NOT MAKE DESIGN CHANGES TO YOUR WORKING COPY OF THE DATABASE! Make a copy of your database and make changes to the copy. That way you can go back to the original if you encounter any problems. All changes should be documented and tested before going into production. Liberty Labs will not be able to provide support if you do not follow these procedures.

To make modifications to your program, first make a copy of the program. Save the original version, and open the copy. Right-click on the grey area of the menu bar and select Functions. A new toolbar will open allowing access to the database window and other functions.

After you have modified your copy of the program, and documented all changes, make another copy to distribute to the users. You can make this an .mde file if desired. To make an .mde file, from the toolbar, selct Tools > Database Utilities > Make mde file. Be sure to keep your .mdb file so that you can make additional changes as needed.

Open the copy you plan to distribute, and from the toolbar, select Tools > Start-up. Un-check the boxes for any options you don't want the users to have.

Import your current data into the modified .mde file and complete your testing before you distribute.
