Export vs. Import

• SpaceQry has always had the philosophy of
  exporting data as opposed to importing data.
  Historically this is because of having the SRS
  database exclusively on a CD-ROM in the days when
  hard-disc space was limited. Because of this,
  the SRS was almost always used directly from the
  read-only CD.

Export vs. Import (2)

• Today, and in fact for the last several years,
• disc space is no longer an issue, so it is now
  relatively easy to maintain an up-to-date SRS
  database on your hard disc (or even on your iPod)
  which pretty well matches the BR's database.

Export vs. Import (3)

• Because of SpaceQry's historical "export"
  philosophy, the method for updating your local
  SRS is to export the new data from the IFIC
  database into the SRS database. To do this you
  need only

Updating Your SRS

• 1) copy the SRS from the DVD onto your hard
  drive
• 2) remove the read-only attribute of the SRS.mdb
  file
• 3) every 2 weeks, download the new IFIC database
  from the web (or take it from the IFIC CD-ROM)
• 4) open the IFIC database with SpaceQry
• 5) select the FileExportCurrent Query menu
  option
• 6) answer "yes" to the question box asking about
  only exporting status 50 and 51
• 7) select your local SRS as the "target" database
