Wizard - Introduction

Author Reminders:

You can use Wizards instead of some file maintenance programs to quickly and easily maintain the data.  The Wizards guide you through each step of data entry in an organized manner.  They also provide the flexibility to skip around among the steps.  The topics in the table below describe the general aspects of a Wizard, including the Control Menu, the four panels within a Wizard window, and how to navigate within a Wizard.

Tip:  To see general instructions for each panel in the example below, the cursor becomes a hand when you position the cursor over the field or panel.  Click once to display the associated topic.
