FIGURE 2.8:  Static frames of the animation.  The goal of this sequence of images is to show the reader how to fill a database field, in ArcView 3.2/3.3, in "string" format suitable for creating date fields for the time slider in Google Earth.  

FIGURE 2.8a:  The screen that remains from the previous sequence.  The table is still in editable format.

FIGURE 2.8b:  Find the "Field Calculator" button and click on it.

FIGURE 2.8c:  Select the "Timeperiod" indicator already present in the database.

FIGURE 2.8d:  Double-click the "Timeperiod" entry to enter it in the equation box at the bottom.  Click the "OK" button.

FIGURE 2.8e:  The entries in the new column are identical to those in the "Timeperiod" column.
