INSTRUCTIONS
Internet Explorer 4 does not allow use of a local database. The data must first be entered into the script language. Click on view on the bar menu then scource. This brings up the source code into which you must enter the data. It is marked at the begining of the code. Once all the data is entered save the code, return to the web page and refresh. Entering the record number in the ID box and pressing enter brings up the appropriate data from within the database in the code, and the calcuator can then be used as normal. Any word processor can be used to copy data into the code. Note the format for the data items must be within quotes and separted by a comma. It may seem a bit clumsy but it works very well. The variable "total" in the database needs to be increased as the database size increases. It is set for 100 at the start.
