Creating A New School Directory

MasterVision is capable of running multiple, separate schools on one computer. You might want to do this so that you have one school for martial arts instruction and a separate one for kick-boxing classes. The steps for creating a second school are as follows:

1. Exit MasterVision if you are currently running it.

2. Start Windows Explorer under Start > Programs > Windows Explorer.

3. Highlight your MasterVision directory. This is usually c: \mv

4. Click the + sign next to the MV directory to expand it.

5. With the MV folder still highlighted, select File > New > Folder. A new folder will appear on the right side. It will have a name of "New Folder" which you can change to whatever you like.

6. On the left side of Explorer, click on the Samples folder.

7. On the right-side of Explorer, click on the Address.CDX file so that it is highlighted. Select Edit > Select All from the menu. All of the files should be highlighted now.

8. Select Edit > Copy from the menu.

9. Right-click on the new folder you created in step 5 and select paste from the pop-up menu.

10. Start MasterVision. Select File > Utility > Set Data Source. You should see the new folder you created. Highlight this folder and click the select button. You should get a message that says "You are now using data from " your new folder name. Say OK to this message.

11. Select File > Utility > Clear Data. WARNING: This will erase all data in the currently selected school. If you did not get the message above in step 10, do not do this! If you're convinced that you're in the right directory, say yes to the warning messages.

12. At this point, you are in a new school directory ready to be set-up with whatever data you like. At this time, unfortunately, you have to reenter the class schedules, ranks, employees, etc. as you did when you first started using MasterVision. Information on how to do this is in Chapter 7 of the manual.

13. To get back to your original school, use the File > Utility > Select Data Source option from MasterVision's menu, highlight the folder that has your school data (DBFS is the default name for the first school), and click the select button. You use this routine to move from school to school.

14. Don't want to leave unlucky 13 as the last instruction so, when done, get up from your chair and spin 3 times clockwise for good luck.
