The CEDI/ADI table is compressed (zipped) into self-extracting executable files. Execution of this downloaded file produces a database (.mdb) file. Launching the mdb file requires Microsoft Access from Office 2000 (or later). Other useful information about this file is as follows:

File Name	Size	Decompresses to	Final size
OPA-EDI.EXE	113 KB	EDIMDB.MDB	452 KB

Do the following to launch this searchable database:

1. Click on the downloadable database link.

2. When presented with the File Download Dialog box, select "Save this program to disk". Select a directory on your hard disk in which to save the file.

3. Click "Open" in the "Download Complete" dialog box.

4. At the WinZip Self-Extractor box, we suggest that you accept the defaults (a. The folder into which to save the mdb file.   b. The check boxes to overwrite without prompting.   c. To run the database.).

5. Click the Unzip button.

6. At the "2 files are unzipped sucessfully" button, click "OK".

7. Wait for the database to open into Microsoft Access. You will briefly see a DOS box before the file opens.

More information regarding zip files can be found at CFSAN's help page.
