3. After the database opens for the first time, you will be prompted to select your language*. Do so and click the adjacent "set lang" button. This will initialize the database for your language, and may take several minutes to complete.

Some important notes on the runtime file set:

• Please do not rename or move any file in the runtime file set, otherwise the database may not open properly or function as expected.
• Amongst the files in the runtime folder is a file called APiCS_data. This file contains all your data and is the only file in the runtime set that needs to be sent when sharing or submitting your database.
• Your APiCS_data file should always reside in the same folder as its runtime program file/s.
• Please never double-click/open APiCS_data directly. Always open it by opening its program file, !open_APiCS.

• Once downloaded you should see the downloaded file on your desktop. If your web browser is set to download automatically, you'll need to find where.
• Double-click the downloaded file, but IMPORTANTLY, don't open any contents visible within. You must first extract the contents before opening them. Under Mac OS X this extraction is often done automatically when you download and/or open a zip file. Under Windows, this can usually be done by dragging the contents to your desktop.
