Changing GL accounts from "A" to "T" types -
There are times when you would like to break and existing GL Account into a Title account with Subaccounts.   DO NOT revise existing accounts. The best time to do this is year-end when the balance may be zero, to avoid potential problems.

First, use the utility UT-2-4-1 to rename an account to a new number (i.e. 210 to 299) Second, create a new account 210 (UT-6-1-1) as a title and add the subaccounts. Third, J/E the balance from the renamed account to the new account-subaccount.

Fixing "Ghost" memos -
A Ghost memo occurs when invalid records in your memo database attach to good records. A memo may look correct on the screen, but prints with information from older memos. Run this procedure with everyone out of the memo system whenever you have this or similar strange problems.

With your station having Supervisor rights, open a DOS window and go to the F \ TAM directory. Type the command FIXMEMO2 .  You will respond Y to the message and let the utility run. It will report the number of records modified. If the number is greater than 0, then do the following at the TAM prompt :

REN FIXMEMO2.ERR *.OLD
REINDEX 1 D3MEMO2

You can then rerun this utility untill you receive 0 errors.

WinTam invoice macros -
You can let Wintam's Installment invoices automatically  fill the description line with various information when the invoice is printed. These can be found under the Option/Available Substitution Macros - but you can type these directly and save a lot of time. The commands are :
        &m& - for month ( JAN   FEB   MAR  ..... )
        &M& - for full month name ( January   February .... )
        &q& - for calendar quarter ( 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter ...)
        &t& - for policy type
        &c& - for customer code
        &p& - for policy number

You can use as many as will fit on the normal description line, but you should really only use one per line.
