Opening Accounting Files

*Open All

Choose *Open All to open all files of a particular type in the MacNail construction accounting software.
This command uses the same dialog box as the previous *Open Main command. Put a check beside each type of file that you would like to open.

NOTE-- Goldenseal construction accounting software replaced MacNail in 2000. It's an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. It stores all data in a single file, which makes data management much easier!

Every file in the Current Accounts folder that is of the selected type(s) will be opened.

Running time: varies.

*Open File

Keyboard shortcut: option-command-O.

Choose *Open File to open a single accounting file of any type in the MacNail construction accounting software.

After you choose this command, you will see this dialog:

Double-click on the type of file you would like to open, or click on it, then click OK. You can scroll up and down through the entire list, if the desired file type is not showing.

A second dialog box will show you all files of the desired type. Double-click on the desired file name, or click on it, then click OK.

Running time: 8 seconds/30 seconds.
