This database was designed in Microsoft Access 97 format. The version you receive contains the database design including the tables, queries, forms and reports. Several bird lists are already entered into the tables. You can retrieve them by using the appropriate reports. To find out what are the bird lists available, use the BirdListByTripname to generate the report and when prompted for the tripname, just press enter without supplying any keywords.

Updates to database
Updates to the database, when available, will be posted on the MNS Perak
website at http://members.fortunecity.com/mnsperak.
From these updates, you can import new queries, forms, reports and new
bird lists etc into your own database (from the File Menu-Get External
Data-Import). These queries, forms or reports do not contain any data and
hence the file is small. There is no need for you to download the whole
database again if you already have the database design.
