Please Register

If you are interested in the programs and may possibly use them, please register. This will help me know how to reach you in case of critical changes to the programs during the encampment season, and will also help me to improve the programs in the future.

IMPORTANT: Change setting in Access Program

You must have Access 2003 or later installed on your system. (Access 2000 probably still works, but I have upgraded to 2003 and have not tested the new programs under Access 2000.) Access generally is installed with a setting that needs to be changed in order for the programs to function correctly. BEFORE installing the Encampment Management Program, open the Access Program, load a blank database, and then click the Tools option on the top menu. Go to Edit/Find, and unclick Action queries. View Access Set Up

Download Instructions

Clicking on the link may prompt you to Open the file or Save it to Disk. If you open it, it should indicate that it will extract all files into C:\CAPWATCH. If you Save it to Disk, it doesn't matter where you put it as long as you remember where it is. After saving, you need to click on the saved file. It will automatically extract all databases and put them in the Directory C:\CAPWATCH. (If you do not have C:CAPWATCH directory, the extract process should create the directory automatically.)

Final Installation Tasks

  2. setup6_7 (35K)
  3. Nottingham (Notting.ttf) and Casque Open Face (Casqueof.ttf) are two fonts that have been used to create an elegant Certificate of Appreciation and Certificate of Accomplishment. These two fonts are included with the database. Install the fonts (Control Panel, Fonts, Install).
