Rice Lake TransAct 2.0 - Manual (Page 133)

132 Appendix
Note: When importing transactions, do not select any criteria. Go directly to
Importing.
When you have imported transactions into the network database, TransAct
appends the transactions to the last transaction database. If you entered the
current ticket number correctly, the ticket numbers should match after you
have imported the data.
When network down time will last no longer than a few hours and
more than one computer will be recording transaction.
If the network will be down for several hours or days, you can use TransAct
locally on each computer. You can export transactions from each computer
and import them when the network is back online.
Quit TransAct and edit the c:\windows\transact.ini file on each computer
that is recording transactions. Type
REM (space) in front of the following
line from the [TransAct] section. Note: REM stands for “remark” and
prevents the line from executing.
[TransAct]
REM DBDir= network path to TransAct subdirectory
Restart Transact. If you have periodically run backups to the local drive,
restore the most recent backup to obtain the current customer accounts, rate
tables, etc.
To avoid ticket numbers being changed when the transactions are later
imported into the network database, select Admin
