MacNail Menu

Keyboard shortcut: option-command-S.

Choose one of these commands to open a Logbook of the given type in the MacNail construction accounting software. If no Logbook of the given type is already open, the main Logbook will be opened. If a Logbook of the given type is already open, it will be brought to the front. If several Logbooks are already open, the one farthest back will be brought to the front. This allows you to 'cycle' through each of your Logbooks.

NOTE: You can also use the Excel WINDOW menu to activate any file, by name. To change to a different main Logbook, see page 168.

*Estimates
*Accounts
*Job Costing
*Schedules
*Customizing

Choose these commands to transfer between the different MacNail modules.
You will be asked if you would like to close all files first. If you answer yes, all open files will be closed before transferring.

After you transfer, commands for the previous module will be removed from the menu bar, and commands for the new module will be put in their place.

NOTE: The command for the current module will always be dimmed.
