• Limit of Entries on Pull-Down Menus: Enter a number in this box
to limit the size of the drop-down menu lists in the system. The
default system limit is 1000. (Setting a limit for the size of the drop-
down list can improve data retrieval time in a large database.) Once
the limit is exceeded for an entry, the drop-down list is disabled and
you must manually enter the desired entry into the desired field for
data retrieval (instead of selecting it from a drop-down list).
• Local Tables: On Startup, As Needed, As Requested: Set how
often the front and back end databases are synchronized.
Important: The On Startup option is recommended for large databases
or Wide Area Networks. The As Needed option is recommended for
smaller databases. It is also recommended if you frequently change infor-
mation in the Lookup tables.
On Startup: choose this option to automatically synchronize the
data upon system startup. This option is recommended for large
databases or Wide Area Networks.
As Needed: choose this option to automatically synchronize the data
when discrepancies occur between the front and back end databases.
This option is recommended for smaller databases, or if you fre-
quently change information in the Lookup tables.
As Requested: choose this option to be prompted by a dialog box
to update the local table each time you open an order, inventory, kit
maintenance, customer or vendor form (Forms selected from the
Manage menu in the menu bar).
