IMPORTANT - - - If you have any AD-421s currently in progress in the Web Forms, you must complete and submit them to CRIS today or YOU WILL LOSE THEM! We do have contingency backup which can be used for extenuating circumstances, but please complete any reports in progress today! Use Administrative functions to display the table of reports in progress; select the option to include all reports that contain text, whether marked complete or not.

If you submitted 1997 reports using the Web forms and you want to download 1997 AD-421 reports for your own purposes you must do that before October 1! On October 1, the 1997 checklist and the associated reports will no longer be available on the Web forms. Normally there is no reason to do this as you can always view them on CRISTEL.

Also on October 1, the default reporting period dates for your site will automatically be changed to the 1998 reporting period (either FY or calendar year 1998).

Something new will be there on October 1 -- the AD-419 Web programs. The default reporting period for that will also be set to FY 1998.

You must remember to do the following using the Administrative Function "Edit Site Information":

• select whether or not you want users to be able to access the AD-421 forms, the AD-416/417 forms, the AD-419 forms

• set the passwords for your site -- THERE WILL BE SEPARATE PASSWORDS for AD-421s, AD-416/417s, and AD-419s. By default, the AD-416/417 and AD-421 passwords are the same (your current site password), and the AD-419 password is the same as your admin password.

• correct any names and email addresses that may have changed
