Fixing Accounting Files

Fix Menus

Choose *Fix Menus to redraw the menus on the menu bar in the MacNail construction accounting software. A bug in Excel will sometimes erroneously 'grey out' some commands. This command will restore them to working order.
Running time: 7 seconds/30 seconds.

*Fix Database

Choose *Fix Database to repair the database that is built into each accounting worksheet in the MacNail construction accounting software. You can also use this command to add a new database to any Report.

Use this command if you receive a 'Database is damaged' error message when using *Reports or *Extract Special. It will repair most kinds of database damage, although it will not repair all kinds of damage.

NOTE: If you work with protected documents, you will not be able to cause any damage to the database.

NOTE-- MacNail was replaced by Goldenseal construction accounting software in 2000. Goldenseal is an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. Goldenseal does not require the Excel spreadsheet program, so these commands are not necessary in it.
