The ER/ECO database has been created to enable tracking of the status of ER's and ECO's. Initial entries are made when either an ER or ECO is initiated by Design/Drafting or Engineering personnel. Entries are updated, for example, with modification dates, budget codes, etc. as that additional information becomes available. In order to use this database the user will need to have a Macintosh computer, be on the network and have FileMaker Pro software.
