Overcoming security blocks with the Access database

To prevent read-only warnings, extract or copy the file from the archive before opening it

See Upgrading when transferring personal ascent records between Excel or csv versions. Users of the Access version should use the inbuilt facility to import logs from previous versions in Access or Excel. There is also a facility for importing/exporting records to and from www.hill-bagging.co.uk.

You can use the Access versions even if you do not have Microscoft Access. Download the free Access 2007 runtime or Access 2010 runtime from the Microsoft website after checking that your version of Windows meets the requirements. Do not install a runtime version of Access if you already have a full version of Access on your computer.

GPS users - can you help?
We are building a dataset of reliable 10-figure GPS references based on ground measurements (not from maps). If you would like to help, please read our requirements in the Database notes. Our interest is not limited to hills for which we lack a figure in the Hills database, as multiple entries improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.
Survey fund
In response to a number of requests, we have provided this PayPal facility for those wishing to contribute towards the development of the database. At present all the fund goes towards purchasing and operating our survey equipment, whose costs are considerable. Please email if you would prefer to contribute by cheque. A brief summary of our equipment and surveying objectives is given in the Database Notes.

Recent donations have gone towards purchase of a new 5m extendable staff. We thank all those who have contributed for their support.

Hills Database user surveys
Dec 2010 user survey (pdf)

July 2008 user survey (pdf)

As we aim to provide lists and features people want, we place considerable value on the feedback we receive from users. Version 12 reflects to large extent the views expressed in the most recent survey. We have not provided Yeamans but will continue to monitor the demand.

Feedback
