Copy File

The Copy File function creates a backup of the file(s) selected. Files are copied to the server's hard drive. Files must be backed up before purging or compressing a file. Do not skip this step.

When customer or drug related files are selected to copy, the system automatically prompts to back up similar files:

To copy files:

1. Access PrimeCare.
   
2. Click System Utilities. Select Master File Maintenance and click Copy File. Choose File displays:
   
   
   
3. Files are in alphabetical order. In this example, the Sig (Directions) File is selected. Click Next.
   
   
   
4. The Backup File path option displays. Note: Click Use Floppy only if you are backing up to a diskette. Click Next.
   
   
   
5. The backup status displays. The screen shows the folder where the file is backed up and the name of the file. The backup file will always have the extension .bk1. If the NEXT button displays on this screen, this indicates there is another file that needs to be backed up in conjunction with the Sig File. Follow the same prompts as the previous file. When complete, click OK.
