Your on-screen information may also change automatically when youíre working with a particular record in the Sales, Purchases, Historical Sales, Historical Purchases, Customer Payments, Vendor Payments, Settle Returns & Credits and Settle Returns & Debits windows. In these windows, if youíve marked the Automatically Refresh Lists When Information Changes box in the Preferences window and another person changes or removes the same record youíre working with, the window youíre using will automatically close.
