Download the first option if you do not have Microsoft Access97 installed on your computer. The second option is for those who do have Microsoft Access97 installed on their computer. This is the actual Data Entry Tool program that you run from your computer.

Lime Green
This file is the database file, not to be confused with the program file (Data Entry Tool), which you have already downloaded. It contains the data that you enter, using the Data Entry Tool. Follow the link to the download area, and when you have registered it, download the file to c:/sk40appl on your computer

Blue
This file contains support tables that are used by the Data Entry Tool. While you do not open or view them, they are necessary for the operation of the program.

Orange
Download 4b if you know which specific watershed codes you want, otherwise download 4a.

Pink
Option 5 is for the help system, once the program is running. It must be installed separately.

In order to run the Data Entry Tool, your c:sk40appl folder must contain these files: as well as other help files and readme etc. files. For further information, please visit;
