The menu bar¶
The menu bar runs across the top of the application and is where everything starts.
Note
On Access 2007 and later the menu bar is not at the very top of the window. It is under the Add-Ins tab.
Alongside the standard File, Edit and Help, there are nine menus built for running a trial.

|---|---|
open a database, back it up, restore it, export results, exit |

settings that apply to the whole program |
Only one event is active at a time. The title bar shows which:
Agility OpenTTM - AKC - Lyons Township / GRCI
File¶
Open a different database, back up the current one, restore a backup, export results for the AKC, and exit the program.
Edit¶
Standard editing commands.
Delete¶
Remove a dog, an owner, handlers who have no dog, dogs or owners by who entered them last, all data for one event, or everything in the database.
Warning
These are not undoable. Take a backup from the File menu first.

Three places where a batch of related work happens:
Email Center — send messages to exhibitors
Random Draw Center — run and record a random draw
Wait List Center — manage the wait list when an event fills
