12.1.4 Reinstall with an Empty Database

If you have used the Uninstall program to remove fictitious customer
accounts from the sample database, you can 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 Section 2.0. When
asked if you would like some sample data in your database, select No.

12.2 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

The transact.ini file contains system defaults, ticket-format preference file,
category setup, and other information used to run TransAct.

You can configure many of the items in the transact.ini file from within
TransAct while the program is running. For example, you can configure the

[Tickets Notes]

section from within TransAct by selecting Admin…

| Preferences | Note Headings. Configuring these sections within TransAct
is best because you can use the graphic display.

To edit other sections, use the Notepad

®

application provided by

Windows in the Accessories group. Double-click on the Notepad icon to
open Notepad.
