If you are entering a new customer, simply fill out the record.
This is pretty much straight forward.

1.     Type the Company Name.  If you have previously added this
       company, you will be alerted that this company already
       exists, but you will be allowed to continue.  That's because
       it is possible for a company to own more than one of your
       software programs.

2.     The next field is the Product name.  If you have a blank field
       here, simply press the [enter] key and a product picklist will
       appear on your screen.  Select the correct product and press
       [enter].  You can also add a new product to the product pick
       list from here.  When you select a product, the Version, EXE
       Name and Serial Number fields on your screen will be filled
       in for you.  You should have no reason to change those
       fields.
3.     Other fields such as disk size and expiration type offers a
       picklist.  Simply choose the item from the picklist and press
       enter and the data will be copied into your field.

4.     The NotePad field is a Clipper Memo field.  You may store
       all kinds of extra info here.

5.     The Protection # offers you the ability to tell if a user of your
       protected software is trying to install your program on a
       different computer than the one they originally installed it on.
       After you have a few customers entered into your database,
       you will be prompted with a browse screen.  You can use
       your cursor keys to browse through the fields or enter the
       first few letters of the company name and press enter.  This
       will pop you right to the first occurrence of that company.
       Normally, the company name is the active browse key.  If
       you would like to browse by one of the other keys, press the
       [F10] key and the pop-up key choice window will appear.
       Select the key that you would like to use and it then becomes
       active.
