System Requirements
1. Windows Vista or Windows XP; software has not been tested on earlier operating systems. 2. The ELM software is based on a Microsoft database platform. The program requires users to have either MS Access 2007 or MS Access Runtime installed on their computer.
MS Access Runtime can be downloaded FREE from Microsoft at the link below:
Download Access Runtime From Microsoft
Or from the APMAA at the link below:

Common Download Problems: · We recommend minimizing your browser window and any other open programs during download so that you can see any dialog boxes that appear—they tend to be behind open windows/programs. · If you do not get a License Agreement dialog box to appear, the file did not download and/or you did not run the file after download (this is common at the Microsoft site and some people think they have downloaded the file when they really have not). · Once Access Runtime 2007 is downloaded, you should see another dialog box to “run” the file, it will then take several minutes to configure to your computer. Please make sure that Access Runtime is fully installed and configured prior to installing ELM. · We recommend downloading the file directly from Microsoft but, some users have experienced problems downloading from Microsoft in which case, please use our link. The file is 52 MB and will take 10+ minutes to download even at fast connection speeds.
ELM Download instructions
Confirm that Microsoft Access Runtime 2007 was installed on your computer by going to the control panel, choosing the install/uninstall program option and looking for the program on your list of installed programs. If you do not see it listed, it did not fully install.
To install ELM, download the file by clicking the link below and selecting “Run”
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation. When prompted, choose ”Typical” installation.
· *Note the software will work for computers with Access 2007 or No Access installed. Currently, it is not backward with people running older versions of Access on their computer. Some users with Access 2003 installed have experienced installation issues—primarily from not being able to install Access Runtime 2007 properly. We recommend downloading the Access Runtime from our link above and downloading ELM a second time. If the problem still persists, you may want to either upgrade to Access 2007 (if you use Access) or uninstalling the older version of Access which should allow you to install Access Runtime file from Microsoft.
· As with any new software, we are sure some computer configurations will experience download issues. First, try downloading the software a second time and make sure you hit “run” versus “Save”. If you are still experiencing download issues, please e-mail us at information@apmaa.com and we will contact you and try to resolve the issue.
· Once installed, we believe you will be very happy with the software and its capabilities!
