Tools
There are two tools currently available for use in Recorder 6,
these are the OS map tile installer (NBN Browser Software) and the
tool that recreates or mends the linked Access database
nbndata.mdb.
OS map tile installer (NBN Browser Software)
To assist with the accurate recording of biological data the
Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Landranger series has been made available
for use with Recorder. There are 812 digital map tiles
(raster images) covering England, Scotland and Wales in areas of
20km by 20km. These tiles are encrypted due to licence requirements
and are provided on a set of five CD's. These are available to
purchase from the
NBN
Trust for £16.00. It should be noted that the CDs contain
the installer for Recorder 2002. To use the tiles in Recorder 6 a
specific Recorder 6 installer (called NBN Browser Software) is
required which can be downloaded below. For full details of how to
use the installer and selecting the map tiles for use please refer
to the
mapping
section.
Recreation / Re-linking of the linked Access database
nbndata.mdb
This tool has been specifically designed to recreate or
re-link a linked Microsoft Access file.
To use:
- download the tool to
anywhere on your pc
- extract the zip file to any location
- double click on the .bat file
Note that this process assumes that Recorder is installed in the
default location: C:\Program Files\Recorder 6. If you have Recorder
installed in a custom location full instructions for editing the
.bat file are included the Read Me.txt file which is included in
the zipped download file.
