Step 1 - Finding the Files
Choose the type(s), track(s), and date range of the files to search. Use the CTRL and/or SHIFT keys to select multiples of type and track. Press Find Files to begin the search. In the example shown, the search was for MultiCAPS files for Aqueduct and Belmont from 1/1/99 through 8/31/99.
Step 2 - Select the Files
All files found matching your criteria will appear selected within the upper right box. Scroll through the list. While holding down the CTRL key, click on the files you wish to discard. It is very important to hold down the CTRL key while clicking. Otherwise, your entire list will be deselected. (If this occurs, simply select the first entry and press SHIFT + END to select the entire list. Click on Select Files after deselecting unwanted files. This will remove them from the list and display the current totals in the lower right box.
Step 3 - Place the Order
Once you have repeated steps 1 and 2 enough times to have selected all the date files you want, carefully review the list to determine you have what you need. If all looks well, click on Place Order and fill in the necessary fields on the form that appears. Check the file totals once more before clicking on the Submit button. The amount shown will be charged to your credit card immediately. If any problems are encountered, please follow the directions given within the screen that may appear.
Step 4 - Download the Files
After the credit card transaction is approved, print the final page that appears for your records. It will also have a bookmark to the page that has been created to download your files. However, you may always access any of your orders from the link that appears on the Archive Home Page. Each order's contents are listed by file type and track for easy reference and downloading. We strongly suggest you follow the suggested pathname guidelines to avoid overwriting similar named and multiple year data files.
