name for the house type

the new controller, or can not communicate with the controller, an error message is placed in the Farm
Manager note field.

Cancel – Return to the previous screen and do not make any changes.

The delete option can be used to delete a house or a controller by first highlighting the item and then
clicking on the Delete option.
Utilities - There are three utility options available:
Reset All – This option deletes the entire Farm Manager
database including all controller information and all
logging data files in the Active and Inactive file folders.
NOTE: This option should only be used in extreme
cases to re-initialize the entire Farm Manager database.
Repair and Compact Data Base – Should unexplained results occur, this option can be used to call the
data base repair functions to “clean-up” the data base. This option is not intended to erase any data. In the
process, the data files may be reduced in size.
New Password –When Farm Manager is sent from the manufacturer
the password is set to “PASSWORD”. The password is only needed
to access screens that program controller settings. To change an
existing password, first enter the Old Password, if one existed, and
then the New Password. Click Okay to proceed or Cancel to keep
the current (old) password.
Close - Closes HH.Net Farm Manager.
