Updates to database
Updates to the database will be put into a temporary database file. You can import new queries, forms reports 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 had already downloaded it earlier.
If you have any suggestion on new reports, forms or features which you wish to have, email Dr Chan Kai Soon.
