General Program Hints


 

First there are some rules!

 

All entry fields in blue are required.  Some need data in them and others need specific data related to other files.

 

Most entry fields will automatically capitalize correctly as data is being entered.  Please set the CAPS LOCK key off.  If left on it will interfere with using the auto complete function.

 

All date fields have a calendar lookup next to the field.  Pressing the plus or minus key will add or subtract one day from the date currently being displayed.  There is a short cut to entering dates, enter the month and day, 0101, and then press enter or the tab key and the current year will be filled in automatically.

 

Selected fields have auto-complete allowing faster and more accurate data entry.

 

Selected windows have spell check enabled.  Press F7 to start the spell check function.  Requires Microsoft Word 2000 or newer.
