USER'S MANUAL 



Preface 



The development of the Montana Rivers Information System Reporting Program is a 

 cooperative effort between the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks; the Natural 

 Resource Information System, and the Bonneville Power Administration. The reporting program 

 was developed to be used for querying data in the natural resource databases managed by the 

 Montana Rivers Information System. The examples given in this manual are for the fisheries 

 and recreation databases; other datasets using the reporting program in the future will include 

 wildlife, natural features, and geologic features. 



The Montana Rivers Information System staff manages the natural resource databases as part 

 of the Information Services Unit of the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks.

This MRIS Reporting Program User's Manual was prepared by the staff of the Montana 

 Rivers Information System using a manual developed by the Natural Resource Information 

 System for another reporting program. Assistance was given by the NRIS Programmer/ Analyst, 

 Jim Senkler, who wrote the reporting programs and Jim Stimson, who wrote the manual used 

 as a prototype. 



Thanks continue to go towards the Bonneville Power Administration for their continued 

 support of the Montana Rivers Information System.
