4.3 MS Access Database Files
Figure 4 illustrates the required Folder (Directory) Structure for further processing of data in MS Access and final
storage of processed data files into the NBD in database standard format. This format can, later on, be changed once
a final structure for the Nile Basin Database has been developed.

Figure 4: Required Folder (Directory) Structure for all MS Access database files.
For this purpose it is required to create a main database folder called MyDbase on the C drive. This folder should
consist of two sub-folders called NBD and NBD NEW DATA. The former will be used to store the Nile Basin Database
files, while the latter is basically planned to contain temporary data files imported from the C:/Campbell/Files/
Output folder and append queries; the imported dta files and append queries are used for further data processing in
MS Access, prior to final storage of processed data records into the NBD data tables in standard data format.
For the creation of the proposed directory structure, use the appropriate Windows Explorer commands. Once
more, the structure is illustrated below as displayed on the Windows Explorer screen:
