Local Machine
This setting contains a few options that you can use to control the behaviour of FirstOffice.
To open this setting, click [Settings] in the Master Control panel or select 'Settings' from the File menu, and then double-click 'Local Machine' in the 'Settings' list. Fill in the fields as described below. Then, to save changes and close the window, click the [Save] button. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.
- Default Export Codepage
- Paste Special
Choices of possible options
- By default, text files exported from a FirstOffice database will contain Unicode characters. However, if you want these text files to use a different character set, change the Default Export Codepage here, using the 'Paste Special' function to choose from a list of options. This can be useful if you want to check or edit a text file using a program that cannot read Unicode. This feature does not apply to every Export function in FirstOffice.
- Prompt when deleting
- When you delete records using the 'Delete' command, you are usually not asked if you are sure you want to go ahead with the deletion. If you would like such a warning to appear, switch on this option.
- Don't display Tool Tips
- Check this box if you do not want Tool Tips to appear when you move the mouse onto a field, check box or radio button. Quit FirstOffice and restart for the change to take effect.
