General Details

This option allows you to specify some of the general parameters for the application, such as the date format, passwords, and authority levels.

Date format

The three alternative date formats are shown at the bottom of the screen. All dates in this application will be in the format you select here — usually, in the UK, the first shown, DD/MM/YY.

Password

Key in the password which will provide access to this application as a whole. Leave blank if not required.

Authority level

Key in the authority level required to use this application. The value entered must be in the range 0-9. Since 0 is the most powerful and 9 the least powerful level, the lower the number the fewer the users who will be able to access the application. Any user with a sufficient authority level will then be able to use this application.

Text file look up: Allow General Text File Look Up Facility?

Text file look up: Keyboard Character to Signify Look Up Required?

A text file, as described in the location of files discussion earlier, may form part of your application. This file is a normal data file database, but (as the screen prompts) it must be file 8 of the application, and its first item must be the code on which the look-up is to be based, and the second item the text which is looked up.

To use a text lookup database set the first question then specify a character that you do not usually use (such as $ or @) in answer to the second question.

Named users

Up to eight named users may be given access to the application even though their authority level is not high enough to let them have access anyway. Enter the names of any such users on the right of the screen.Names must be entered in uppercase.
