The CD that was given to you by Successline contains a complete SOL Tracker Data File.  This file contains all student and testing data pre-loaded from Harcourt-Brace disks.  You do not need to go through the import process --- this has already been done for you.

Regardless of whether you are a district office or school, the CD that was given to you should contain a file named for your location with a .MDB extension, and might contain a creation date within the file name (i.e.; Pleasantville Elementary Aug 5 2002.mdb).  To set up this data for use, follow these steps:

1. Copy the [Your Name].mdb file from the CD to where you wish the data to reside.  This can be either on a hard drive, or on a network server if you wish multiple users to connect to the same data.  Please refer to Section 5.1 of the SOL Tracker User's Guide for information on how to implement the data at your organization.
2. Locate the file that you copied to your hard drive or network (through either My Computer or Windows Explorer).  Right-click on this file and choose Properties.  Uncheck the Read-Only checkbox.
3. Start SOL Tracker.  
4. If this is the first time launching a given installation of SOL Tracker, you will be prompted that the local Data File at C:\Program Files\SOL Tracker 3\Data.mdb was attached, and that it has an invalid identity.  You will be asked if you wish to identify the file now with a license disk.  Select NO.  You will then be prompted about browsing to a Data File.  Choose YES.  Skip to step #6.
5. If you are already attached to a Data File when you start SOL Tracker, you can choose to browse to another.  Click on Utilities from the main rainbow screen, then click on the Data Utilities button.  Next, click on the Data File tab, then click on the button to browse to another Data File.
6. Using the file browser, locate the Data File that you copied from the CD and click Open.  After a few seconds, a message will indicate that you are attached and you will be prompted to log in. 
7. If you wish to verify that your data is there, click on the Review Tests button from the main rainbow screen.

When logging in, please keep in mind that each Data File contains its own set of users and passwords, so if you set a password for the admin account in the local Data File, this does not affect the Data File that was copied from the CD.  By default, there are two accounts in these Data Files that come from Successline: admin and user.  Neither have a password initially.

The Data File provided by Successline should be completely intact and no further processing should be needed.  You can go ahead and start running reports or browsing through the test or student records.  Depending on your agreement with Successline, additional data may need to be loaded for future testing periods.  Please refer to Section 14.1 of the SOL Tracker User's Guide for information on importing data.  Keep in mind that if you are a school location, it is most likely that your district office will do the actual importing of data from Harcourt-Brace, and send only the applicable data for your school on disks or via email.

NOTE: If you place your Data File onto a network, all users that will connect to the data need all rights, except Supervisory.  This includes Read, Write, Modify and Delete rights.
