Emptying Projects File, ch. 2

Another excellent question, by Rosemary in Buchanan Co. The MOST excellent part of the question is that she READS my stuff!!

"In your email of Aug. 30th, you talk about what we need to do if we want to empty out our projects file (start the new year with each kid having no projects listed). I don't want mine to be currupted, but don't understand if I need to do this just BEFORE I do year-end processing, or if I do it right AFTER."

This goes back to the "don't corrupt your Youth2d file" issue, when I told you all that if you're going to empty out your projects, you can't do it by using the "Delete Member Projects" option under Utilities, you instead have to highlight Youth2d, then choose "Empty File".

Oh, yeah... the answer to Rosemary's question is that it doesn't make a bit of difference when you empty the file--just as long as you've already done your stats, have sent in your backup & ES237, and got a confirmation back from me. If you're ready to do year-end, you can empty the file either immediately before or after you do that process.

I'm only in for a bit today, trying to organize the stacks and piles. I'll be back next Tuesday, with some wedding memories and pics to share!
