    64-bit SID database

    The newest versions of Windows have a 64-bit architecture and one of the changes is the way they handle databases.  Older versions of Windows used DAO while the 64-bit versions do not.  The SID database (version 4 and up) has been re-written by Brett, our New Zealand computer programmer, so it is compatible with all Windows versions.  All features are now working, including the ability to import supplements.

    This page gives details on the new version:  http://wiltonsoftware.com/labs/sid

    You can download the free mega-database version here.  You register for the password here.

    For those who already have SID installed, download the SID upgrade package, unzip it, and copy the files into your SID directory.  The upgrade does not include the file that holds all the data (.../data/kerux.mdb).

    64-bit Access database (Kerux2010)

    The newest version of the Access database is standalone, which means anyone can install it.  There are still a number of issues with it that need to be fixed but it runs well.  This version has many innovations -- sermons and illustrations are grouped together so you can do unified searches, you can format material right inside the database and you can configure many shortcuts.

    Summary of installation:

    1. Download and install Microsoft Access runtime
    2. Register online to get password to unlock database
    3. Download and install the Kerux2010 database
       (use the default directory it suggests rather than C:\Program Files)
    4. Close two warning screens that will appear at start of program
