You will be entering and retrieving information using the above
screen. The items "Friend, Business, Birthday, Prior. 1, Prior. 2,
Prior. 3" are those upon which the sorting will be based.
Entering an "x" at "Friend" or "Business" will serve to separate
business lists from lists of friends.
Entering someone's birthdate will permit you to mail cards with
labels. We find it easy to print out a couple of times a year
the "Birthday" list and then mail the cards or gifts as the time
arises.
-- Prior. 1,2, 3 --
These are sorting categories for professions. You can use them
for almost anything. We happen to also be in the construction
business. When we enter the name of a subcontractor and/or
individual who happens to be a carpenter, we enter "carpenter"
in Prior 1- if this individual or company is primarily providing
carpentry services. If he or they have other services then we
can list them in descending priorities in prior 2 and 3. Later
on, when we are doing a construction job and need a list of
carpenters we call on the database to provide this.
Print Indices to the Categories-- prints out a list of the
various items in prior 1 through 3.
Edit/delete -- does just what it says. We also use it to search
on screen for names and addresses if we are too lazy to do a new
printout or can't find the old one.
