NOTE--
Goldenseal construction accounting
software is the successor to MacNail, which we retired in 2000. Goldenseal is an integrated business management program that includes
general accounting, job costing, payroll and project
billing, plus construction cost estimating,
contract writing and simple scheduling. It uses checking transactions
to store the same type of info as MacNail Ledgers.
There are several ways to open a Ledger in the MacNail
construction accounting software.
1. Open Main
Files: Choose *Open Main Files from the FILE menu, and check Ledger. This will open whichever Ledger
you have specified as the 'main' Ledger. This command can also be used to open any or all of the
other 'main' accounting files.
2. *Open All: Choose *Open All from the FILE menu, and check Ledger. This command will open every Ledger
that is currently in the Current Accounts folder.
3. *Open File: commandChoose *Open File from the FILE menu. When it shows you a list of Accounting file
types, choose Ledger. You will be able to choose from a scrolling list of all Ledgers that are currently
in the Current Accounts folder.
4. *Checkbook Ledger: commandChoose *Checkbook Ledger from the MacNAIL menu. If no Ledger is currently
open, the 'main' Ledger will be opened.
If a Ledger is already open, it will be brought to the front.
If more than one Ledger is already open, the one in back will be brought to the front. Choose *Checkbook
Ledger several times to cycle through each of the Ledgers that are currently open.
5. Opening Ledgers from the Finder: We do not recommend that you open a Checkbook Ledger by double-clicking
it while you are in the Finder (on the Desktop). Full Ledgers are 'linked' to the Master Index, and opening
the Ledger without having the index open first will cause some minor problems (see pages 218 and 224).
Open the Accounting Manager first instead, and use one of the commands listed on the previous page. It will
automatically open the Master Index for you.
