[TransAct] Directory Editing

The [TransAct] section contains the path to the directory where
TransAct has been installed. If there is a problem running TransAct
because a file cannot be found, check the path. When all of the defaults
are selected during installation this line will look as follows...

Appdir=C:\TRANSACT\

If the path has changed, back space over C:\TRANSACT\ and type in
the new path name. A valid path name would appear as:

Appdir=C:\TRANS\

[Options] Database Directory Editing

The [Options] section contains the path and file name to the directory
where the database resides. If there is a problem running TransAct
because the file cannot be found, check the path. When all of the
defaults are selected during installation this line will look as follows...

SystemDB=C:\TRANSACT\TRANSACT.MDA

If the path or directory name have changed delete the existing directory
name and type in the new path or directory name.

[Ticket Notes] Editing

The [Ticket Notes] section defines the four headings for the Notes
feature of the Weigh Form. These headings can be configured while
running the TransAct program. Change the headings by selecting
Admin | Preferences | Note Headings. If any of the label definitions are
left blank, that line will not appear when the Notes button on the
Weigh form is clicked.

[Weigh Options] Editing

Use the [Weigh Options] section to change the default Unit of Measure
(UOM). UOM defines the unit of measure to which the scale value will
be converted. This value is displayed as the Ticket Weight on the
Weigh form. Possible values are: Pounds, Yards, Unit Count, Kilo-
grams, Tons, or Metric Tons. For example, if you would like to print
tons on your tickets, the UOM in the .ini file needs to be changed to
read Tons.
