IMPORTANT: Change setting in Access Program
You must have Access 2010 installed on your system. (Access 2000, 2003, and 2007 probably still work,
but I cannot guarantee future backward compatibility.)
All versions of Access need to have Action Queries Unchecked, Access 2010 needs to allow macros.
See the attached document for complete instructions.
Access 2010 Settings
(Access 2007 Settings)
Additional Steps
The Menu System in Version 17 has been radically redesigned, as well as a cleanup of obsolete programs. Review the two documents to aid in the
navigation.
Occasionally there are changes by National, or errors discovered in the Access programs. If you wish to be notified, please enter your email address.
(This must be repeated for every new release).

This file contains the capwatch database from National HQ. (This includes the file change made in May 2016). In order for the
programs to work properly you need to have this database located in the C:capwatch directory.
If you download your wing data from
National the interface programs in the Encampment Management Program will load the National data into these files. Clicking on Empty
Capwatch Database should prompt you to save the file. (The executable file is named capwatch.exe.) Save it to your desktop and then click on it. It should extract 1 file -

To maximize the use of these programs, the CAPWATCH files for your wing should be downloaded and stored in
the C:capwatch\downloads directory. The link (National CAPWATCH) will take you to the sign on screen for the National Web Site
for Civil Air Patrol. You may need to register and/or get authorization from your wing to do this
download. Click on the link Directions for CAPWATCH Download for
full instructions on how to complete this process. (After Downloading data from National, you need to run an additional program in the Encampment
Management Program.) |

feature follow the instructions on the "What's New File - User
Defined Signature.
