A)save changes to the data file and the backup file at same time
B)save changes as another file and keep the new file open
C)save changes as another file and keep the original file open
D)restore a file that was previously saved

Accepted Answer

The save a copy function allows you to save changes as another file while keeping the original file open. This is useful if you want to experiment with different changes without altering the original file. It does not automatically save changes to the data file and backup file at the same time, nor does it restore a previously saved file. Option B is also incorrect, as it implies that the new file is kept open instead of the original file.

The save function automatically -
A)saves changes to the data file and the backup file at same time
B)saves changes as another file and keep it open
C)takes place each time you close a data file
D)restores a file that was previously saved

Accepted Answer

The save function does not necessarily create a backup file, nor does it create a new file. It simply saves changes to the existing file. While some software may have options to automatically create backups, this is not a universal feature of the save function. Additionally, the save function does not restore previously saved files. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as saving typically occurs when the user chooses to close the file or explicitly selects the save option from the menu.

Accepted Answer

The date format used in a Sage 50 data file is set for the individual data file and can be changed through the options settings.

This will display a list of icons that represent the journals for each module, and you can click on the icon for the module you want to access. The other options listed (B, C, and D) are not correct as they do not describe the necessary steps to access the module journals.

B)save changes as another file and keep the new file open
C)create a compressed backup version of the current file and keep the original file open
D)restore a file that was previously saved

Accepted Answer

The question implies that the backup function creates a duplicate copy of the file, and the best option is to keep the original file open so users can continue working on it. Option A would close the original file, making it impossible to continue working on it. Option B would create a new file, which might cause confusion and clutter in the system. Option D isn't relevant to the question, as it refers to file restoration, not backup.
