Before statement processing can create an export file, an export definition file must be setup. A sample
export definition file,
POSTEXP.GID , is copied into the TransAct sub-directory during installation. This
file can be edited using Windows Notepad and saved as a text document. To learn more about importing
and exporting, please refer to
Importing and Exporting Data on page 66 .
Data can also be exported to a text file by selecting Test File, Comma Delimited Text File, or Tab
Delimited Text File.
Since the statement/posting process makes changes to the database, it is strongly recommended to
make a backup of the database before continuing. If the statements are incorrect, the backup can
be restored. Corrections can be made and the billing process repeated.
To perform the backup functions, click Yes . The backup window appears.
