The following Menu Items can be found on the Main window Menu Bar. Buttons on the Main window Tool Bar are identical to their Menu counterparts. Some menu items have a function key assigned to the item (i.e.,F9). By pressing the associated function it will call the table/update form without having to go through the menu.
The top of the window displays the current version of the software (i.e. 1.2) and the current Company loaded i.e. DEFAULT Company).
The bottom of the window displays the current status of any messages the program needs to display. Normally you will the data source (where the data file is located the software is using) and the present Date and Time. If you are using the software across a network then the user that is signed in will also appear on this line as well.
