Customizing-- McN menu

NOTE-- We retired the MacNail estimating program in 2000, and replaced it with Goldenseal construction estimating software. There are still a significant number of die-hard MacNail users, so we keep the manuals online for them! Goldenseal is an integrated program that also includes accounting, scheduling and contract writing features.

MacNail (McN) Menu

The MacNail (McN) menu helps you to open Customizing files, to navigate in Estimates and Estimators, and to transfer to other MacNail modules in the MacNail construction management software.

File Commands

The first two blocks of commands under the MacNail menu will open the main MacNail Customizing files.
If a file of the selected type is already open, it will be brought to the front.

If several files of the selected type are already open, the one in the back will be brought to the front. For example you can cycle through several open estimators by repeatedly choosing the Estimators command.

If no files of the selected type are already open, you'll be able to open a file of the selected type.

HINT: All open files are listed in the Window menu. In Excel 3.0 and up, the four most recently opened files are also listed in the File menu, unless you have disabled the file list (see page 226).
