7. even though there will always be possibilities for improvement and implementing of new routines The program will be continually updated and the latest version will always be found at http www nhm uio no ringmerking If you have connection to Internet you will receive a message concerning updating by means of a box that will appear marked Check for updating in the main menu Here you can download information from the ringing centre a new version of the file containing ring sizes etc Basisdata mdb and newer versions of RingAccess when they are made available Follow the instructions from the program If you find errors in the program wish to send comments or propose new functions that should be implemented then contact Vidar Bakken bakken2 online no FAQ How do I start You must download the program from http www nhm uio no ringmerking You can start the program and install it on your PC The program will install itself in the catalogue C Programfiler RingAccess but if you wish you can change this during installation The program will appear under Programs in the start menu in Windows Start the program by pressing the icon marked with a ring For version 1 4 the installation file is the same for new installation and for updating from an older version of Ring Access When you have entered the main menu you must first mark your profile Choose Individual ringer Group leader or Bird Observatory G
8. Choice editing Choose Ring number and specify the first new number in the series Then press Save change The program will then insert the new numbers in the series and confirm the number that have been changed Remember to update the ring stock if necessary If the new rings also are among the ring stock then these must be deleted manually Is it possible to alternate between different versions of the data table Yes for more advanced users of RingAccess there is also the possibility of getting different versions of the data tables Tables containing the ring stock all ringing controls and recoveries are named ringdata mdb Sometimes it can be practical to distribute the material in different tables By pressing on the drawing of an owl in the main menu you get a new screen version At the bottom there is a button marked Exchange Ring Data Table From this you can obtain another version of the table that you have on the PC You must in advance have copied a version of the table to the relevant folder Take contact if you need more information about this function The table Ringdata mdb is the only table that the program can fetch from other folders When you start the program the version of ringdata mdb that lies together with the program files will always be set up in the program Wishing you the best of luck with what we hope will be a simpler job as administrator of ringing data 29

31. e in the outset you are searching in negative values In general all values that you specify in the variable box are treated as numeric while values that are extracted from the defined lists are treated as character strings in comparison If you search for values that should be either the same or different then there are no differences between seeking with numerical values and character strings You can for example search for a number series in this 17 way Ring number gt CA34567 and Ring number lt CA34585 Try changing and to or in the expression and check the result If you search for parts of a ring number you must avoid writing letters and numbers consecutively The reason is that the EURING code writes for example CA12345 as CA 12345 Therefore the search will not detect a string of the form A123 You must instead first specify the ring series as CA followed by parts of the ring number for example 123 The expression will then be as follows Ring series CA and Ring number free text 123 Another possibility is to write Ring number_ free text CA and Ring number free text 123 If you search for distance direction or time between ringing and control recovery remember that ringing data has values registered for these also namely 1 If for example you search for distance less than a given value and include ringing data then these will also be included in the data
32. eletes data This increase is greater than necessary therefore one needs to compress the databases from time to time This can be done by pressing Compact databases from the main menu Before you take this action it is important to take a backup copy of the database After compacting is complete you must check that the databases function correctly Report the matter if you experience problems with this function You can check yourself how much the database Ringdata mdb goes down in size by checking the file register with the aid of Windows Explorer before and after compacting Log file Everything you do in the program will be logged in an ascii file called Loggfil txt This is placed in the same catalogue as the program most often in C Programfiler RingAccessV The file can be opened in programs such as Notepad Wordpad or Word You can also look at the day s activity by pressing a button marked Log file from the main menu and from the registering menus for ringings controls and recoveries You can also write out the log file to a printer or file You can also look at the log for previous days by changing the date at the 24 bottom of the screen Eventually the RingAccess log file can become large It can then be moved over to another folder and the program will start to form a new log with the same name and this will still be in the same folder as the program The way ahead The program is nearing completion

36. etting up simpler and more elegant search expressions and the use of parentheses is entirely necessary for performing many kinds of search The aim is to group search expressions so that chosen expressions are treated together or on the same level to express it in a different way An example is the best way to illustrate the use of parentheses Suppose that you wish to retrieve registration of ringing of nestling Common Gulls done in Finnmark and Troms A possible search 18 Use of parentheses expression could be Species Common Gull 05900 and County Area Troms 35 or County Area Finnmark 23 The result however will not be quite what you expected as you sure enough will get all ringing of nestlings of Common Gull in Troms but in addition you will get all ringing in Finnmark regardless of species This is because the last link bound together with or is treated independently from the first If you change or to and before the last expression the program will not find any records at all because there has been no ringing both in Troms and Finnmark Here the use of parentheses can help you further By grouping the search expressions per county the search will be correct and a search string that will function is Species Common Gull 05900 and County area Troms 35 or County area Finnmark 23 An alternative without parentheses is Species Common Gull 05900 and Co
