HANDLING MATCHES

A match is a registration already in the computer that has the same name or address as the registration you are entering.

If a match is found, the system will display the names and addresses of the matches at the top of the screen. Check carefully to see if any of the matches are the same as the registration you are entering. Each match has a number before it. Type that number to get additional information (phone number, birthdate) about the match. Birthdate is the best indicator of whether a match is valid.

REMEMBER: A match is a registration already in the computer. It is NOT the one you are entering.

If you decide that the match is NOT the same as the registration you are entering, then type Y and press RETURN. You will be returned to the screen you were working on, and the message (2) Other addresses: will appear. Type 2 and press RETURN.
