How to define tasks on the Tasks toolbar?
The Tasks toolbar allows you to access quickly some features of the program with one button click (load selected table, print address label, print inventory report, print invoice for the selected record).
Where task.ini file is stored?
- Tasks are predefined in the task.ini file. The file is stored in the database's data folder.
- Use Windows File Explorer to find the file. Use Windows Notepad application to edit the file.
- If the task.ini file is not present in the folder, it means that tasks have not been defined. Create a task.ini file using the Windows Notepad application, ensuring it has the .ini extension.
