Accounting Document Protection

Problem

MacNail protects document after adding rows. Forces you to “unprotect document” everytime you need to add rows again when using MacNail construction accounting software (also applies to other modules).

NOTE-- this is a feature, not a bug. We protect documents to prevent problems that users might cause. Things that are OK to change are still accessible, even on a protected worksheet.

Diagnosis

User wants to remove the "always protect" feature.

Solution

• Bring Accounting mgr to front.
• Choose Formula\Define name.
• Select "always.protect" from name list
• Change =TRUE to =FALSE in the "refers to" field.
• Click on Add button, then click ok.

stress to user that it's much safer not to fiddle with this setting, and that it's better to work on protected docs.

NOTE-- Goldenseal accounting software is not based on Excel, so it is much better at managing what you can change and what you can't.
