Previous  Top  Next

Once your software has been configured for Direct Dial access, you can begin a daily update in either of two ways:

·	On the UA toolbar, click the first button (Get Data)

·	Through the Database menu, select Update Database

Note that your modem must be plugged into an operable telephone jack and the line must be available for initiating a telephone call.

The Download/Distribution Selection screen displays:

This screen allows you to download and distribute everything in your retrieval category or a subset that can be defined through a list. Select your choice or edit as desired. See the "Download & Distribution Choices" topic for information on editing these choices.

Click [Run] to begin the download.

The communications dialog begins:

The download proceeds with a screen describing the process (exact appearance may vary, depending upon your computer's configuration).

Cancel

If you must stop a retrieval session before normal termination, click the [Cancel] button. Cancelling the update will lose all data retrieved during the session.

UA automatically proceeds to data distribution after a direct-dial retrieval session.
