PLEASE NOTE: The demo is not an automated show as the word demo might imply. The demo program is the same as the production program except that sample data is included and new data can not be added. The sample data can be viewed and reports can be produced or previewed. Also in the demo, information windows automatically open up. When the demo is run for the first time both a Default Settings window and a Passwords window will open up. This is basically just to show you that these features are available. If you don't wish to change any of the default settings and/or set passwords during the demo just exit from those forms without making any changes. Go to each sub-system by clicking on a menu option 'Family', 'Offerings', 'Financial', 'Attendance' or 'System' in the program's menu bar. The menu options to select a sub-system are NOT enabled while an information window is open or a sub-form ('Defaults Settings' or 'Passwords Settings') is open.
