added automatically when the postcode is inserted and the

select 'Your Organisation' and complete the details, in
particular the 'City'. |

I backup my data directly to a CD? |
No, as with most programs you cannot write directly to a

software. |

What can we do? |
Call Data Developments Technical support on (01902) 824045.
We will be able to log you in and re-activate the administrator
log-in. |
| I
have created two users, an Admin user and User 1. Which one
should I use? |
For greater security the Admin user
should only be used for setting defaults, creating users
and other security settings.
For normal day-to-day use create
a new user specifically for this purpose, for example
User 1. You are not limited to the number of users you
can create in Membership Co-ordintor.
