How do I reinstall the sample reports that came with the program?

Overview
Guest Tracker versions 2.1.7 and above include over 25 standard reports and letters that can be installed into Guest Tracker at any time. Many of these reports/letters can be used "as is" or you can use them as a starting point and modify them to meet your own needs (Report modification is not available in the Lite version).

If you're not sure what version of Guest Tracker you're using, click on the Help menu within Guest Tracker and click on About. The screen that comes up will state the version number at the bottom of the window. If you're not running version 2.1.7 or later, download an update now.

Installing the Samples
1.) The samples are installed from within the Guest Tracker Database Utilities. If you are currently in Guest Tracker, exit out of the program.
2.) In Windows 9x/NT/2K/XP, click on your Start button, then Programs, then Guest Tracker, and finally click on Database Utilities to start the Database Utilities.

In Windows 3.x, you should have a Database Utilities icon in your Guest Tracker group of icons. Double Click it to start the Database Utilities.

3.) Click on the Import tab on the Database Utilities screen.
4.) Click on the Reports button as shown in the following graphic.

5.) The next screen you will see will look something like the following graphic. This window is asking you which database you'd like to install the sample reports into. It will automatically pick your default database (usually tracker.mdb). Simply click OK to continue.

6.) Next, the results will show you which reports were installed and which ones already existed in your database as in the following graphic. Only the sample reports that don't currently exist in your database will be installed. For instance, in the following results list, we already have the following reports installed Single Column 3.5 x 15/16, People - Contact Information, Reservations - Arriving, etc. so they do not get installed again.
