MARTIN:
You will need Microsoft Access. Here are the steps to take, modified from Bert's original instructions to me:
- Open the AC folder.
- Find AmazingMeds.mdb. Rename it AmazingMedsTodaysDate.mdb, or something like that. (This creates a backup copy, in case you mess up. To restore your previous database, you only have to rename the original to AmazingMeds.mdb).
- Copy this and paste a copy to your desktop and rename it to AmazingMeds.mdb. Open it. You can play with this one with the knowledge that you still have a working copy in the chart, which just has to be renamed.
- Once you have opened it, look under "Tables". Delete "MedNames" and "MedsDetail". Leave "Listings" and "Formulations". You have to perform this step every time you add a new medication.
- Click on "Listings" to open the database. ("Formulations" can be ignored, but do NOT delete it).
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and add your new medications, following the same format I used. (Include the hyphen! It may act buggy if you don't).
- Save, and close the database.
- Copy and paste the new database into your AC folder.
- Open AmazingCharts.
And that's how simple it is!
