Reinstalling TransAct with an Empty Database
If you have used the Uninstall program to remove fictitious customer
accounts from the sample database, you will now reinstall TransAct
with an empty customer account base so you can enter your own
customer data.
Begin a new installation by following the directions in the Installing
TransAct for Windows section of this manual beginning on page 13.
When asked if you would like some sample data in your database,
select No.
Editing the TransAct Initialization File
During installation, setup creates the transact.ini file, located in the
C:\windows directory.
Hard Drive Location of transact.ini file
This file contains system defaults, ticket-format preference file,
category setup, and other information used to run TransAct.
Many of the items in TransAct sections can be configured within the
TransAct program while the program is running . For example, the
[Tickets Notes] section is configured from within TransAct by select-
ing Admin | Preferences | Note Headings. It is best to configure these
sections within TransAct where the graphical display can be utilized.
To edit other sections, use the Notepad application provided by Win-
dows
®
found in the Accessories group. Double-click on the Notepad
icon to open it.
