How to start the Administrative Editor

Scenario: A member of the Club Data staff has asked you to go into the Administrative Editor and change a field of data manually.

1. Critically important: use the editor ONLY after contacting Club Data first. Serious harm can come to your system's integrity if you ignore this warning.
2. Exit the module all the way back to the Main Menu.
3. Click Utilities, Monitor. View which other employees are on the system. You cannot use the Administrative Editor if any user is currently using Club Office.
4. Be sure to tell all users to exit the system before you proceed.
5. Close the Monitor, and exit Club Office yourself.
6. Open My Computer, then open the disk drive letter on which Club Office is installed. You may have to ask your system administrator for help. You'll know which drive it is if you see a cdco folder and when you open the folder, you see many programs and data files that will likely be listed alphabetically.
7. Look through the cdco folder until you find the admedit.exe program. You'll know which it is because it is the only one with the purple lightning bolt icon:
8. Double-click on the admedit.exe program to start it. A small login icon will appear in the middle of the screen.
9. Type the administrator's user name in the first box and press ENTER.
10. Type the administrator's password into the second box and press ENTER. If both have been correctly typed, the main editor will appear.
11. Continue by making the changes as directed by the Club Data technical support representative.
12. When done, exit the editor back to your windows desktop.
