Running DT Max

These options are:

• Program

  From the DT Max products drop-down list, select the program you want (T1 personal, T2 corporate or T3 trusts). If you have omitted to install a program, that particular option will not be listed.

• Language

  Select English or French as the language in which you want to run the program.

• Year

  Select a year among the choices available. For T1, this refers to the tax year of the individual whereas for T2 or T3, this refers to the calendar year of the fiscal year-end for the corporation or trust. The years listed are the only ones available.

• Database location

  The database locations listed will be the ones previously used by DT Max.

  If you want to use another location, type it in the entry field or click the browse icon   to locate it and DT Max will subsequently remember it as a valid database location.

  To create a new database, enter a new location (e.g. c:\clients). DT Max will do the rest.

• Username

  The first time you log on, enter your username. When prompted to create a new username, simply click Yes.

  Use the username given to you by your system supervisor, or the same username you previously used.

  If you wish to create a new username, use your initials, or a combination of one to four letters or numbers which can uniquely identify you when using DT Max.

• Password

  If your system supervisor has set up the security system to require personal passwords for this database, DT Max will prompt you to enter your password. In order to prevent security violations, it will not remember your password from one time to the next.

• Database maintenance

  The button gives access to the database maintenance features, which enable you to reindex or restore your client database.

  You should only use these features if your database is damaged and you are unable to run DT Max in the normal way.

• Help

  This button brings you to the present help document, which is part of the DT Max knowledge base and help system.
