Re: COMP: Iris dbase

It's also working for me. I've managed to enter (by copying and pasting info from my Excel spreadsheet) almost 600 irises into the database so far, over the last few weeks. Of course, I've only entered info that is pertinent to me.

It is working fine for me. After Winzip open it I had to extract it to a location. I then made a short cut to put it on the desk top. I did this with the file that has the blue and yellow Filemaker Icon. This is the file that opens Irises 2.4. Janet isn't it a run time program? I believe you just open it to use it as there is no typical instillation like most programs.

I like the new location fields and a place for parents including photos of them. I have not made any entries yet. Maybe I will understand the numbering system when I do.

You need to add MTB's Miniature Tall Bearded next time.
Laevigatia would go under Species.
I like the improvements.

Please note that this is a PC version only for the moment. I hope in the new
year to acquire a mac box. Also you must you something like winzip or the
like to extract it. Please note it is a large file, so if you are on dial-up
there is a chance that it can get mangled during download. (I used to work
for an ISP and on dial-up lots of stuff gets mangled).
I've got a mac screen/keyboards/mouse, but my drive is so old that it's
next to unusable. I know the boxes out there are less expensive but in the
new year, I'm rearraging many things and one of the parts things I wish to
acquire is one of the mac boxes.
You're more than welcome to write me directly with any of the error
messages if you cannot open the file as I would be able to troubleshoot.
Generally I see a couple blips along the way - it's just a matter of
figuring out the hardware and software and how its configurred. I haven't
run into too anyone that has't been able to run in on a PC.
