Convert menus to functions dialog

It's possible that you might have menus in your database that you wish to use as functions.  The convert menus to functions dialog allows you to convert already created menus into functions, whilst still keeping a copy of the original menu.

 

To launch the convert menus to functions dialog use one of the following methods.

 

Select Tools->Merge/Bulk Delete->Convert Menus to Functions from the menu bar        or

Click on the button_toolconvertmenutofunction toolbar button.

 

The program will ask you if you wish to perform a database snapshot just in case an error should occur in the conversion process. Resort Software recommends that you perform a database snapshot before any major changes are made to your database. Select yes or no and the convert menus to functions dialog will be displayed. See the following image.
