Question

How do the Desktop options of the Desktop View in Preferences function?

Answer

The Desktop options of the Desktop View in Preferences determine which windows (if any) will automatically open when you open your company file.

To access this setting, from the Reckon Accounts Edit menu, choose Preferences.

Click the Desktop View icon on the left.

The Desktop options function as follows: * Save when closing company.

Displays the desktop exactly as it was when you last worked in the company file.

Select this option when you want your work to reappear exactly as you left it.

The windows you were using reappear in the same positions as before. * Save current desktop.

Displays the desktop according to your specific choices.

Select this option when you want the same set of windows to reopen every time you open your company file. Open the windows you want to display, then open Preferences and select this option. Note: This option only affects the current company. If you work in more than one company file, you can save a different desktop for each one. * Don't save the desktop.

Displays an empty desktop (no windows open) when you return to the company file. * Keep previously saved desktop.

Restores the desktop as it appeared prior to the current desktop.

This option appears only when Save current desktop is selected.
