Company Selection
screen is
displayed. The screen is similar to this:

. This removes all that Company’s data from the
computer. This option should obviously only be used with great care. If you do not have a backup of this
Company’s data it will not be possible to retrieve the data once it is deleted. The most common reasons for
using this option are to free up a Company “slot” to allow it to be used to store data for another Company or
as part of general housekeeping activities getting rid of unwanted data.
Copy
There are two options when copying a copy to another slot.

copies all of the company data to another slot. The Company Name in the newly created “slot” will
be prefixed with the words

.... This option is most commonly used after the end of a Financial Year
just prior to the running of the Financial Year-End Procedures. This allows you to keep a readily accessible
copy of data for previous years on the computer should you need to refer back to it.
Setup Only
copies only setup data, e.g. VAT Rates, Analysis Categories, Customers, Suppliers, Chart of
Nominal Accounts, Passwords etc. It does
not
copy any opening balances or transactions.
