Save the correct file to a floppy disk, writable
CD-ROM, network drive, or even just to your
desktop. After your reinstallation (or new
installation on a new computer), copy the
database into the new installation directory.
With MASTERFORM for UPS Domestic Edition, your
templates are stored in the file named
masterform.mdb . Search your computer for this
file name, or browse to the default installation
directory, C:\MF_UPS.
Addresses
With MASTERFORM for UPS Domestic Edition, your
addresses are stored in the file named
UPSAddress.mdb . Search your computer for this
file name, or browse to the installation directory
(default is C:\MF_UPS). If you have Microsoft
Access, you can import or export from the
address database. See
Import Excel or Access
address data to the Address Book and Exporting
addresses from the Address Book for more
information.
File Extensions
If you are looking for these databases and can’t
see the file extension “.mdb”, you do not have
your view of file extensions turned on. This is
simply a Windows option. To turn on your view of
file extensions, simply open My Computer and
choose Folder Options from the View menu.
Click the View tab and make sure the for Hide file
extensions for known file types check box is not
selected.
Managing Templates and
Addresses
To keep your template and address book data
safe through repeated updates, you should
familiarize yourself with the databases that store
this information. Template and address databases
are found inside your MASTERFORM installation
directory.
You must know where MASTERFORM is installed if
you want to work with these databases. If you
aren’t sure, search your computer for the file
name “masterform.mdb.” The location of this file
should be your installation directory.
You will not be able to open your template
database directly; security has been applied to
avoid renaming or modification errors. You can,
however, e-mail the file to Labelmaster Technical
Support for help. For example, you may find the
database has become corrupted and needs to be
repaired.
Templates
If you are simply installing an update CD over an
existing program, MASTERFORM will detect your
templates and ask if you want to save them. Just
say Yes if you do. However, uninstalling or
deleting the installation folder will permanently
delete your templates as well. You must save the
appropriate database outside of the installation
directory in order to keep templates safe during a
reinstall or to move them to a new computer.
