Furniture Wizard 2007 FAQ
How do I add a new Salesperson?
A new Salesperson can be added while you are in the middle of creating an Invoice. To
add a Salesperson’s name to the lookup list of Salespeople simply type in the name, a prompt will
warn you that the name is not on the list, do you want to add it? click yes and you are done. A
Salesperson Edit Form is also available in the “Advanced Setup Form”
What do I do if the program does not display data correctly or I cannot open a Furniture
Wizard form?
First try closing the Furniture Wizard program. Exit Windows correctly (Start Shut Down
Windows) Wait 10 seconds then restart Windows. (If you are on a Network, you may need to
restart the Server and all PC’s currently using the Furniture Wizard program.) If this does not
correct the problem you should back up your Wizard folder. (This will vary depending upon what
Backup scheme you have established.) From the windows Start Menu, choose the Optimize
Program Database option.
What can I do to help my computer operate without problems.
A Computer is like an automobile. To keep a car running you must periodically change the oil and
check your tire pressure. Your computer also requires periodic maintenance. Your computer
stores its information on system Hard Disk(s). These disks periodically will become fragmented.
This is sort of like a Furniture Store warehouse that is in disarray. If you neatly organize you
warehouse it can hold more inventory and it will be easier to find your inventory when you need it.
The Hard Disk in your computer also needs to be organized. There are a number of different
programs available to do this organizing also known as Defragging or “Optimizing”. Win95 comes
with a program called “Disk Defragmentor”, another popular program for this is Norton Utilities
“Speed Disk” You should “Optimize” or “Defrag” your hard disks every week.
There are other areas that require attention to maintain a well running Computer. Temporary files
can cause problems if the are not periodically removed. Crossed link files are particularly
troublesome.
It is NOT the responsibility of the Furniture Wizard program or New Vision Information
Systems to maintain your hardware.
This is the responsibility of any business to properly backup and maintain the Computer
equipment they rely upon to operate their business. It is foolish not to protect the data that
Furniture Wizard is collecting for you!
