Instructions

In the following instructions click on the images for larger views of the Ad Hoc Report Wizard screenshots.

  Use Estudiante to open the CharterData FTP web site
  • From main menu select Administration/New Version Download
  • Click on "Open CharterData FTP Site"
Internet explorer will display the contents of the CharterData FTP site. Click on the image to the left for larger view.
  • In the right hand list open folder "AdHocReport"
  • The two files of interest are "CD_AdHocRpts.mdb" and "AdHocWizard.gif"
  • Copy (or drag and drop) these to file to the Estudiante folder on your C drive
    • To view the C drive click on "Folders" in the menu. 
    • Select C drive in the left list box, then make sure the Estudiante folder is visible.
    • Drag and drop the two files from the right list to the Estudainte folder in the left list.
  Close Internet Explorer
  From Estudiante Main Menu open Ad Hoc Reports/Ad Hoc Report Wizard.  The wizard will open in a new window.
From the menu select "Administration"
From the menu select "Attachment Manager"
This screen is similar to the Attachment Manager in Estudiante in that it attaches Ad Hoc Report Wizard to your school database.  The operation is slightly different in that it simply copys the attachments from Estudiante (given that you have already made the connections from Estudiante).
  • In the "Browse to Frontend Database" dropdown locate Estudiante (file name will usually be "CD_StudentS.mde")
  • Click on "Copy Links From Master"
  • It will take approx 60 seconds to complete the procedure.
  • You will be able to view the database table connections in the "Attachment Link List" tab section.
  • You can print a list of the attachment connections by clicking on "Print Attachment List" in the upper portion of form.

There will be only two situations where you need to run this attachment procedure:

  • When you have changed the location of the Estudiante file
  • After CharterData has added new tables to Estudiante you will need to run this precedure to pickup the new tables.
  Finally, close out "Attachment Mgr" and return to the Ad Hoc Report main menu.
