Faxtrak Interface Program
Version 1.1
Overview
The FAXTRAK program is a DOS program. It is used to convert fax expense transactions from a Faxtrak System to be compatible with the TABS III Merge Data Capture Transactions program.
The FAXTRAK program must reside in the same directory as the TABS III programs in order to work properly.
The interface program assumes that the Client/Matter number in the Faxtrak data is a single number with no separator. For example, if the client/matter number in TABS III is 200.03, the number should be entered as 20003 in the Faxtrak System.
Note: The Create Validation Files program must be run before you can successfully use this data capture device interface program. The Create Validation Files program is found in TABS III by selecting the following menu options Maintenance|Integration|Create Validation Files. When creating validation files, select a Validation File Type of Data Capture Device.
Installation
The FAXTRAK interface program (Faxtrak.EXE) must be transferred to the directory on your hard disk where the TABS III program files reside. This is done by using the INSTALL program on the Faxtrak
interface program disk.To install the Faxtrak interface program on your hard disk:
A:
INSTALL
Note: The INSTALL program has a built-in search feature that will find where your TABS III program files reside. On larger network hard drives, this search feature can take quite a bit of time. If you know where the TABS III program files reside, you can bypass this search feature by entering the path following the install command. For example, if the TABS III program files reside on drive F: in a directory named "STI", you would enter: INSTALL F:\STI
Executing the FAXTRAK Interface Program
Use the following procedure for conversion:
FAXTRAK
Note: If you are not using a demo version of the program, the FAXTRAK.PRT file will automatically be deleted when the conversion is complete to avoid double posting of the data.
Note: You may change the fax transaction code used by the Faxtrak program by deleting the file FAXTRAK.PRM which is created in your TABS III directory. This will enable you to go through the setup procedure described above in Step 3 as a first time user of the program.
