AZJAZ Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 What do I need to do to edit the high schools. Do you have to use Microsoft Access, and what if you dont have access, can they not be edited? Also if you edit the competition quality of the schools, does that change the number of recruits that that school is likely to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plum Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 you can use any dbase editing program. such as the open office program. And yes editing the school the number of recruits as well as quality will be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyvol Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I can't get Open Office to open up the dat files. Anyone else have options as to what the problem is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZJAZ Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 When I clicked on the file it didnt show Access as being able to be used. I went to all programs and opened Access and then opened the file. That worked for me. If you have Access this is how you have to do it, otherwise I dont know.

That other way looks like it is working but it is not. You are missing some of the data that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nukester Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 [QUOTE=mh2365]Probably a stupid question but how do you change the extension of the file? From a .DAT to a .MDB[/QUOTE] If you cant see the extension, you can try this: - Open "My Computer" - Double Click the C: drive - At the top, go to "Tools\Folder Options" - Click the "View" tab - Scroll down just a little and look to see if you have a checkmark in "Hide extensions for known file types". If checked, uncheck it. - now, go to that file (using explorer or My computer), right click on it, and rename the .DAT part to .MDB That is one way to try in Win XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mh2365 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Thanks that did the trick ... I got a new computer for x-mas and I knew I could do it on my old computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
