		For create MS Access Database tool, choose the db_create_script.py as the source script
		For Load MS Access Database tool, chooce load_access_database.py as the source script
		
		For the Load iTree Data tool, choose getdata.py as the source script if you are running ArcMap 10.2
		For ArcMap 10.1, choose getdata_10-1.py as the source script.

	Now the toolbox is good to go


	File descriptiom:
		db_create_script.py: Creates the MS Access database, taking the folder and database names as parameters
		
		load_access_database.py: Transfers data from geodatabase to the MS Access database created by db_create_script.py, taking the name of the Access Database and the geodataset as parameters. Produces an error log consisting of erroneous entries, along with reasons for the error. The error log is of the format geodatabase_name_error_log.csv

		getdata.py and getdata_10_1.py: Transfers data from the i-Tree results database into the geodatabase, taking in the name of the i-Tree results database and the initial input geodataset as parameters.
