Will run on any PC with a Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, or XP operating system. PC must have Microsoft Access installed. Systems developed with Access 97 can be easily converted to newer versions of Access. Allows simultaneous connection to one or more relational database(s) using an ODBC driver obtained from the database vendor. Can be installed on individual PCs or run from a server share point.

3. Using the System Providing for growth and consistency: Data entry requiring a single selection from a list of choices is presented as a drop-down list. Data entry where multiples can be selected from a list of choices is presented as a checkbox list with a scroll bar. Data entry requiring a single selection from a small list of choices (Yes or No, Male or Female, etc.) is presented as option or radio buttons. Data entry that may only be answered as Yes or True and may not always be relevant is presented as a checkbox.
