Adding towns and states

Hi,

I am opening a small, work-from-home veterinary service. Initially it will allow me to do a better job for all the family and friends animals I already treat and obviously it will hopefully become a bigger concern as time goes on (and small children get bigger).

I am trying to get open vpms up and running. I have limited computer experience, but a more limited budget, so am trying to do as much as possible myself. I am up to the tweaks and customisation section. I am having trouble adding Australian suburbs and postcodes.

The instructions on the implementors documentation are for version 1.4 and I have version 1.5 - would that be the problem?

When I enter the command prompt as instructed this is what I am getting up

and there is still no postocodes or suburbs in open vpms.

If anyone had time to give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Donna McGrath

Donna - you are nearly there.  What you need is to enter:

dataload -f ../import/data/postcodesAU.xml

What's going on is that the dataload.bat file is setup to take either 'setup' or 'base' as its argument, or some more complicated command string like the one above.

This says: (the -f) I am going to tell you the file name to load, then the ../import/data/postcodesAU.xml says (the .. part) go back up one folder level then down to the import/data folder and look for a file called postcodesAU.xml

Regards, Tim
