Dear Colleagues: We are pleased to announce that the latest version of the CBDB Access database has been completed. The 20130610CBDBan.mdb can now be downloaded from the CBDB website at http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16229 <http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16229&tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup144477> &tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup144477 . The number of persons included in the database has increased to 128,923 from 116,150 in the previous version. For detailed accounts of the additions, please see the link above. In order to establish a direct channel to our users, we have also set up a Google Form which will enable users to sign up for the CBDB mailing list. If you would like to be notified of future CBDB releases, please fill in your information here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1MTnnnWzRiVDqF7ifsXg1wdLJ1GXuKYrNnnZnJrzPFhg/viewform. (If you encounter problems in accessing this form, please contact shihpeichen@fas.harvard.edu . ) If you encounter problems with the database, it probably (alas) is our mistake rather than yours: please let us know ( <mailto:mafuller@uci.edu> mafuller@uci.edu) and we’ll see what we can do. You may have problems using the “tree” used to select offices and social relations: this will require adding a module to your system and then linking it MS Access. See the discussion about CBDBPatch at <http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16229&tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup144477> http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16229&tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup144477 If you have any comments, questions, of suggestions, please let us know. Thanks.
