Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions about the new Plant Disease and Insect Clinic Reporting system. A new web-based records keeping and reporting system was implemented at the Plant Disease and Insect Clinic on January 1, 2000. This change was necessary due to loss of support for the older system by the software vendor since it was not Y2K compliant. The new system is entirely web based, allows much greater flexibility and requires far less maintenance than the old system.
Users receive an email with a link to the report on the web.
In Netscape Mail and Microsoft Outlook the recipient clicks on the URL web address to go to the report. Legacy data will eventually be accessible via the new system in summary form. The simplest way is to save the original e-mail to easily access the report again in the future. Change this to something meaningful to you and add the file extension .htm. This will allow you to save each report as a web page which you can open in Netscape by clicking File, Open Page.
