Upcoming File Changes

August 17 (approximate date of August Release): v10 of the CPAC dataset, part of CP Complete, CP Advanced, CP Gold and CP Platinum, will have changes in two of the MDB format files, and two of the CSV format files.

  1. NPPES_Addresses.mdb and its identical data content CSV version will be depracated in favor of splitting its data into wor faster-responding tables:
    • Practice Address data will be contained in NPPES_Addresses_Prac.mdb/csv
    • Mailing Address data will be contained in NPPES_Addresses_Mail.mdb/csv
  2. NPPES_TaxoCode.mdb and NPPES_TaxoDescr.mdb and their CSV version will will replace the deprecated NPPES_Taxo.mdb/csv table. The TaxoDescr field is now contained in NPPES_TaxoDescr, and links to the NPPES_TaxoCode cata via a relationsl Taxo (taxonomy code) field.

These changes are being made to increase the operational speed of queries, and to accommodate Microsoft Access and other desktop database software users where Access does not permit datasets or query recordsets larger than 2MB. They represent the first major change in the this dataset in eleven years..

August 17 (approximate date of August Release): Changes in the v10 of the CPAC dataset, referrenced above, will make it necessary to recode parts of the CP ListMaker application (CPListMaker.mdb) that is part of CP Gold and CP Platinum so that it continues to offer all of the same features and operability as it did before the changes. The new version of CP ListMaker (v10) will be made available free of charge to all users of version 7xx.
