Networking

Secure Perfect requires that you set up a network protocol to allow the server and clients to communicate. Secure Perfect uses the TCP/IP network protocol.

You will need to validate visibility and connectivity to the client and servers by name resolution. (Secure Perfect uses PC Names only.) The following describes two ways to validate operations:

•Envoking Ping: Select Start, then Run. At the Open field, type command. A DOS-like window opens. At the prompt, type ping pcname where pcname is the name of the PC to which you are validating visibility and connectivity. If you receive a response of an unknown host, you will need to re-examine you TCP/IP configuration. If you receive a reply, the client/server is online and available for connection.

•Start, Run, PC Name: Select Start, then Run. At the Open field, type //pcname where pcname is the name of the PC to which you are validating connection. If the connection is valid, you will see the shared folders on the remote PC.

If you are using Token Ring and/or TCP/IP, you are encouraged to contact your system administrator for local requirements and restrictions.

New Record

File Menu Item

The New Record menu option creates a new record preloaded with default data. This is the best way to start or add a new record as the default data often saves you from entering in the data. The New Record option is available only when a form is open, contains records, and you have been given permission to update records.

Clicking this icon on the Secure Perfect toolbar can also access this option:

New Template Dialog

Use this dialog box to create a new template. You are prompted to enter the name of the template you want to create. Keep in mind that any information currently on the report form will be saved under this name.

Next Pane

View Menu

The Next Pane option moves the cursor between the main form, the tabs, and the search results window, if there is one.
