Schedules Updates

Latest version: 19 February 2026

Please read the whole page before continuing with the download and update process.

It is assumed that:

The MapMate Schedules database details the scheduled species in the British Isles, including those listed under the Wildlife & Countryside Act, 1981 and the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.

Please address any questions or support issues via the MapMate Users Facebook group (preferred) or via email to Les Evans-Hill.

The following updates are included in the latest version:

Known issues:

The only issue is the queries that call the Schedules database do not work - the queries point to C:\Documents and Settings\Dad\My Documents\My MapMate\Data\Taxa\Schedules.mdb which fails, and affects the following stock queries under 'Species lists':

However, there is a workaround...

Firstly, confirm your USERNAME:

Create new user subqueries for your schedules of interest: 'BAPP', 'RDBLichens', 'WCA' and/or 'WONI'.

Copy and paste the following query below and overwrite the stock query Scheduled Species - BAP Priority Species, and save it:

SELECT TaxaLib.[_guk], TaxaLib.Taxon AS Taxon, TaxaLib.Vernacular AS [Common Name], [C\BAPP].Schedule AS Schedule, TaxaLib_2.Taxon & ': ' & TaxaLib_1.Taxon AS Classification, TaxaLib_2.Vernacular AS [Group Name] FROM ((TaxaLib INNER JOIN TaxaLib AS TaxaLib_1 ON TaxaLib.[**Parent] = TaxaLib_1.[_guk]) INNER JOIN TaxaLib AS TaxaLib_2 ON TaxaLib_1.[**Parent] = TaxaLib_2.[_guk]) INNER JOIN [C\BAPP] ON TaxaLib.[_guk] = [C\BAPP].[guk];
