File
Fix
All Reporting to the MAX including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions® for
Windows®
for the Reporting to the MAX
products now feature a File Fix program. File Fix is a utility program designed
to fix certain data corruption errors. The File Fix utility copies selected files to a
subdirectory of your data directory, creating a new file and copying all undeleted records
to the new file.
File Fix can perform the
following functions:
Create new files without an index. This is useful if
you wish to open the files using another program.
Delete duplicate records. This feature saves the
first duplicate record located, and deletes the rest.
Make all text fields uppercase. This is especially
useful if you are using Data Exchange or converting from Peachtree® .
File Fix does not fix corrupted database files. If the
header record is severely corrupted, you must resort to restoring from a backup.
Warning: Always back up your data files prior to running File Fix.
To run File Fix:
Select the Start button from the taskbar at
the bottom of the screen, or if you are using Windows 3.1x, select the File menu.
Select Run.
Enter the drive letter and data directory where your
Reporting to the MAX files are located, followed by FILEFIX.EXE.
Example: C:\CMSWIN\FILEFIX.EXE
Select OK.
Select the Company Code and Name you want to process from the
drop-down list.
Select the File Name you want to fix from the drop-down list.
Select the Do not make new index check box to create the new
files without an index. Not creating the index prevents the deletion of duplicate records
during the copy process.
Select the Make all of the text fields uppercase check box to
make all text fields in the new files uppercase.
Select Process to create the new files, or Close to exit.

A Snapshot of The Internet and the World Wide Web
The Internet is a complex system of computer networks. Anyone with a
computer interface (PC, laptop, PDA, etc.) and the ability to access the
network (wireless modem, telephone line, cable,) can easily hook into
the system.
The World Wide Web is a software application that runs on the
Internet. It provides the platform that incorporates text, video,
graphic and audio functions. Consider the “Web” as the user-friendly
interface that brings the Internet to life.
The Changing Profile of Internet Users
At the start of the Internet’s history, the typical user was a
high-income, young man. It’s not surprising that the people who
developed the system would be its most dominant customers.
However, the overall demographic profile (U.S.) is shifting to
reflect the average population. Many analysts, including those from the
Yankee Group, report that the Internet is now reaching the mass consumer
market. Cheaper computer prices, cultural acceptance and the ubiquitous
influence of the Internet are influencing the online surge of new users.
A significant finding from the Yankee Group’s Interactive Consumer
Survey (IAC) 2000 indicates the Internet is losing its mystique. For
many the Internet has become an integral part of the daily lives of
household users. According to the Yankee Group study, 87% of respondents
logged online at least once a day.
As users gain a greater comfort level interacting with the Web and
begin to establish trust among the Web sites they visit, it is logical
to assume that online buying will continue to escalate.
In a study released May 2001, the Boston Consulting Group projected
$65 billion in North American online sales for 2001. This represents a
45 percent increase from 2000 purchases.
