TISS28.accdb Change Log

TISS.mdb is a Microsoft Access database for storing TISS form data after scanning by Teleform. Since January 1, 2013, data collection has switched to the new TISS-28 form. The corresponding database therefore contains only TISS-28 data.

This change log reflects the ongoing evolution of the database in response to emerging requirements from the Main Office as well as bug fixes. Problems with the current version of the database or requests for enhancements or both should be communciated via email or the wiki.

NOTE: The TISS-28 database consists of two Access files, TISS.mdb and TISS_Data.mdb, representing the user interface and data components, respectively. The generic term database as used in this article refers to both components.
