The purpose of this utility is to delete the sample data from the trial version of AWdb in order to start entering live club data.
|
If you are using the Data Purge Utility on your own records for some reason, make sure you run a backup before the purge, in case you change your mind after erasing all the records from your database. If this happens, you will be able to restore the backed up data by using the Restore Utility.
|
|
If you have not spent some time playing around with AWdb using the sample data, you might want to skip this section for now. Come back to it when you are ready to begin entering your own data.
