Frequently Asked Questions - Web Builder Deluxe

1. Main Window Is Sizeable!
   You can resize the main window and the data fields will adjust their sizes automatically. You can also change the ratio of the left and right page widths. Just drag the little red-yellow handle at the bottom of the main window.
   
   
2. Use Record Templates!
   If you enter many similar records chances are that you could save yourself a lot of typing by using the Record Templates. The Record Templates are most often used when adding new records (New button) but may also be used to replace the contents of the existing records. Click with the left mouse button on the Record Template button (in the top-right corner) to select a template for adding new records. Use the right mouse button to save the current record as a Template or to replace the current record with a Record Template.
   
   
3. You can customize the data fields!
   If you need some other data fields than those included in the program you can use the Custom Fields. You can also change the usage of the predefined data fields. Just click with the left mouse button on a data field name that you want to redefine and select Text... from the displayed menu. Remember, that you can only change the field names and not the field types (e.g. a date field must always remain a date field).
   
   
4. Customize Headers In The Table Of Contents!
   You can select data fields, their order, and widths that are displayed in the Table Of Contents (the left side of the main window). To insert or remove fields click on the Header (above Record Buttons) with the right mouse button and select from the menu a field to be inserted or removed. To change the order of fields just click on the field names on the Header and use drag & drop. To change the field widths click on the field dividers (on the Header) and drag them.
   
   
5. How Many Records Are There In My Database?
   To answer this question you have to disable the Letter Tabs. Then Click on Last button in the left panel (Table Of Contents) and select the last record by clicking on the last non-empty Record Button. The number in the right-bottom part of the main window (underneath the Details Panel) will give you the number of records in your database.
   
   
6. Protect Your Data - Back It Up!
   You should back up your database regularly and especially after you enter many new records. Just click on Advanced/Maintenance/Backup and follow the instructions. Because the database can easily become larger than the capacity of a diskette the Backup function places the files in BACKUP directory on your hard disk (underneath DATA). You should compress entire BACKUP directory (e.g. using WinZip or PkZip) and then copy the compressed file to a diskette.
