     "Opening Project Files in ArcView 

     When opening the project files ("apr") in ArcView, the user will be prompted to find some of the files before the apr opens completely.  The reason for this is that various layers exist within different directories
     and ArcView cannot move backward and forward or in and out of directories unless they all reside on the c: drive and the pathway is 'hardcoded" into the apr.  In order to allow more flexibility of where to store
     CAMB and all of its layers and aprs, all pathways are removed from the aprs.  For ease of access and organization, all of CAMB's aprs should be stored at the root of the main CAMB directory and outside all
     of the file directories (ie. Nais, Placname, etc.)

     Example :  Opening atlantic.apr : 

     The user will be prompted "Where is d:\Camb\Nais\AT\athwy.dbf?"  Find this file under d:Camb\Nais\AT\.  Open file.  Next the user is prompted to find the corresponding shape file "Where is
     d:Camb\Nais\AT\athwy.shp?".  Find this file in d:Camb\Nais\AT and open it.

     The user will not be prompted to open every layer in the apr before opening automatically, but the number of layers will vary between aprs.  Once the apr is opened, it can be resaved in the desired view.  The
     next time the apr is opened, it will open fully to the view that it was saved in.

     Note:  If this apr and it's associated files are moved to another drive or another computer, the pathways must be removed from the apr (see below) and the process repeated at the new location.

     To edit the project files: 

     Open the apr in a Text Editor and search for the word "path:".  Using the Search and Replace function in the text editor: Copy the pathway ie. D:\Camb\Nais\AT\ (excluding the specific layer portion of the
     pathway) and paste the path into the search window 'FIND what' and leave 'Replace with'  blank.  Click 'Replace All' and this will remove all of the pathways and the apr can be saved in the text editor.

     Virus 

     To be sure that the virus is not on your CD, put the CD in your CD drive, then right-click on the drive icon and select "Scan with Norton Antivirus".  Since we do not have the CD here, we cannot test for it,
     however, if the CD has a virus, please return it to DMTI and we will replace it."
