Query Instructions
for LBS Learner Data Collection from IMS

Instructions:

The following document illustrates the steps that are involved in the proper incorporation of the queries into the reporting database. We recommend you print a copy of these instructions to follow as you go through the steps (grey scale is ok), and also leave Microsoft Word running on the computer with this document open so you can copy and paste three sections of SQL code easily from it. This entire process should take you no more than 30 minutes to complete. If you have problems following these steps, please contact the project researcher, Kim Falcigno at (number) or email@address .

1) Begin by launching the LBS Agency software. When you are at the following screen take note of the Current Database Location. The default location of the database is C:\ProgramFiles\LBS-Agency\LBS.mdb, but it can be different.
