Opening Accounting Files

*Open Main Files

Choose *Open Main Files to open your 'main' files in the MacNail construction accounting software. These are the files that you use most often.

NOTE-- Goldenseal construction accounting software replaced MacNail in 2000. It's an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. Goldenseal stores all data in a single file, so you don't need any special file management commands!

After you choose this command, you will see this dialog box:

Put a check beside the main files that you would like to open. When you click OK, each of them will be opened for you. The Master Index will also be opened.

NOTE: To change your 'main' files, see page 168.

Running time: 40 seconds/3 minutes.
