Opening a firm database

Use the login dialog to select a firm database and enter your login information.
  1. Start DT Practice by selecting the Start button on the Windows taskbar and choosing Programs > DT Professional Suite > DT Practice. Or, double-click the DT Practice icon on your desktop.
    note
    You can also access the
    Open Firm
     dialog after starting the application by choosing
    File
     >
    Open Firm
    .
  2. In the
    Open Firm
     field, select a firm ID from the drop-down list.
  3. In the
    Staff ID
     field, enter your login ID.
  4. If necessary, enter your password in the
    Password
     field.
    note
    • You need to enter a password only if your database is secure. To secure the database, your firm administrator must mark the
      Enable Firm Security
       checkbox in the Firm setup screen.
    • If you want the application to remember your login ID and password so that you do not have to enter them each time you start DT Practice, mark the
      Remember login information
       checkbox. The
      Remember login information
       checkbox is available only if your firm administrator has marked the
      Allow Users to Remember Logons
       checkbox in the Firm setup screen.
    • When you want to change your password, select the
      Change password
       button.
  5. When finished entering your login information, select
    OK
     to open the firm database.
