How often should I optimise the database?
#2 When I open
the Remove Unwanted Data menu, it asks me to select the number
of years I wish to keep in the program. What does this mean?
#3
The program requires me to recalculate the profit test
when I attempt to close it. What does this mean? |
| #1
How often should I optimise the database? |
| We recommend that you optimise every 14 days and the program
will prompt you to do this each month. |
| #2
When I open the Remove Unwanted Data menu, it asks me to select
the number of years I wish to keep in the program. What does
this mean? |
| This function allows you to remove old data from your database,
so if you have not had your program for longer than two years, or
you do not have a shortage of hard disk space, then you do not need
to use this function. |
| #3
The program requires me to recalculate the profit test when I
attempt to close it. What does this mean? |
|
This is asking you if you wish to re-calculate the Values utilised
by the Analysis methods. Please be aware that this is a VERY lengthy
operation and could take several hours or more.You do not need
to run this Profit test if you are using a formula values file
from Customer Service.
To avoid this message, perform the following:
- Click on the Welcome or Go Gecko tab and click on Update
Prices.
- Click on Manually Update Prices Yourself and type
in ...
tblbacktest
... to open this table.
- Change Test Date to 2 years from now and this will prevent
the message appearing again until that time.
