County, Township, and Municipality Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) Databases
The County, Township, Municipality, and Township Bridge Program databases are self-extracting MS Access 97 files that when unzipped will initially occupy from 3 - 4 MB of drive space. These databases were developed in MS Access 97 to replace the old DataEase accounting databases. The MS Access databases will work in MS Access 2000, but must first be converted. Follow the instructions in MFT Access Readme.pdf to load the databases and, if necessary, convert them to MS Access 2000. To download a file to your hard drive, click the right mouse button and choose "Save Target As."

~ Trouble Shooting Tips ~
- When using CompuServe, empty your disk cache of the old version of a file before you download the new version. If you don't, you may get the copy in your disk cache, not the new file from our website.
- To empty the disk cache do the following while in CompuServe: Choose "Tools," "Options," " Advanced," "Empty disk cache."
- Before you download a file, make sure any file with same name has been deleted from your download directory. We have discovered that when some software prompts you to "overwrite the existing file," it does not, leaving the existing file intact.
- For quicker access to IDOT's website create a "Bookmark" in Netscape Navigator, "Favorite Place" in America on Line or in CompuServe, etc. to visit our website.
- Use "Refresh" or "Reload"to get the newest changes of a webpage.
