Data Master
Create a Data Form File

[pdf version]

A data form contains the fields used to develop a list in the Data Master program.  Any form can be added to another computer, including those in a different county.  The data form file is then e-mailed to other users.

The 4-H Alumni data form is used to illustrate this process.

Create the Form File

  1. Open the Data Master program.
  2. Click Go to > Archive > Send Form.  The Send Form screen displays.  See Figure 1.
