Click Setup on the Main menu to see the Setup form. Enter your company contact info and ImportFolder. Blue links on the form perform like compact command buttons. Hover over the link or button to see it does. The Website link browses to your website. ImportFolder opens your import folder so you can drag files into it. WarnCertNo warns you when you issue a CertNo equal to or larger this number. Set it to remind you to buy more CertNos. LastExport is the last CertNo exported for upload to TDLR. The ImportFile combo shows .CSV files in the ImportFolder. Click the blue ImportFile link to view the import file in Excel. Click Import without selecting a file to get a sample CSV file. To import, select a file and click Import. Within a second or two, you'll see a message: Imported x of x certs. Find Sel recs on Cert form. The import function will not let you import duplicate CertNos. Open the Cert form and enter Sel in the Find box to see the imported recs. To view any raw table in the system, select it in the Table combo and click View or export it to CSV, DBF (dBase, FoxPro, Clipper), HTM (for web browsers), MDB (Access), RTF (Word or WordPad), SNP (free Access reader from Microsoft), TXT or XLS (Excel) formats. Click Edit to open a form to edit the records in a form. While viewing a table, you can drag the column headers into the order you want, highlight several columns together and right click, sort A-Z or descending Z-A. When you are done viewing, answer NO when asked if you want to save the table layout. Click TblDoc to create a data dictionary defining all fields in the database application. This HTML file is opened in the user's browser. The description property shown in TblDoc appears as StatusBar text on forms. The User form lets the Super user add or edit users. Normal users are limited in the data they can edit on themselves, but they can change their password here. After confirming the password, be sure to click Email or UserName instead of pressing the Enter or Tab keys. This allows the encrypted passwords in the MDW file on your c: drive to be copied to the server so you can log in anywhere. More info on setting up users Click Link to change where the data tables are located. If you see the box asking where the data tables are upon opening the database, you may have a network error and should call for support to avoid storing your work in the wrong location. See Network Help for more info on setting up your network and backup. Backup quickly saves a copy of the data tables to another location such as a flash drive. Click Quit to force users out of the database for maintenance. Compact rebuilds the indexes, repairs and reduces the size of the tables database. This requires exclusive access to the database, so it is best done after work. You can use the Quit function if people are widely distributed. If you change lots of data, you will notice improved performance if you compact weekly. The Combo form lets you edit tables in your system that only have one or two fields without having to pay to have forms created for each table. Choose the combo you want to edit in the colored area at the top of the form or use the right or left arrow keys to skip through the combos. Set up a ClassNo for each TDLR approved class. Use InsDLNo to set up instructors. Enter their four digit TDLR code in the Code column, first name in Descrip and last name in Comment. This will fill the instructor's name when you enter the InsDLNo. You can put a decimal value in the Sort field to make your own custom sort order for the combo dropdown. Click the blue link Code, Descrip or Sort to sort on that column. It is easy to use comments for special purposes such as help or groups in the Combo form. The Data Integrity form helps you keep your data complete and accurate without slowing data entry because the data wasn't currently available. In this example, we have a select query qDICertWMissingData. It is easy to create dozens of these queries in an hour, so any time you encounter a data entry problem, we can create a DI query to avoid it in the future. There is normally a Note describing the problem and a Fix line telling exactly how to fix the problem. Click Calc1 to count the records found by this query or Calc to count records found for each data integrity query. Click the blue SQL link to see the actual SQL of the query. Click View to see the records found in a read-only format. Click Sel to Select the records found in the Contact table and open the Contact form with only the problem records selected. Click Export to export the records found to Excel, CSV, Text, etc. If it is possible to fix a problem using an SQL Update query, we can create a query qFix query. A Fix button is then visible and the user simply clicks Fix and confirms that they want to run the query to fix the problem. If all queries show 0 records, there are no problems with your data. Color lets you set the form color for different users or to show a difference between normal and super users. Click GetColor to get the color property that is currently used. Check Super for super user or uncheck it for normal users. Click the + or - key by Red, Green or Blue to experiment with different colors or click Web to see a palette of web colors. When you find a color you like, click Save to save it for all forms for all users or super users. The default color is Rosy Brown, 41975984. Close
