Setting Up Total Visual Agent

Prior to scheduling the tasks for Total Visual Agent to perform, set its global settings and options. Select Tools, Options from the main Total Visual Agent menu bar to display the Total Visual Agent Configuration Options screen:

Default Access Settings

The settings on this tab specify where the Microsoft Access executable file is stored as well as the default security workgroup information. Certain Actions, such as running a macro, require that you specify where your copy of MSACCESS.EXE is located on your machine. If you have different versions of Access installed, you must specify the location for each version on the appropriate tab.

Default File Locations

Specify the default directory for storing archive copies of your databases. These settings are used as default values when you add a new Action, but can be overridden as needed.

Error Alert Mail Settings

You may choose to have Total Visual Agent send you an email when it encounters an error. Specify the email settings on this tab.

Monitor Settings

This section contains other miscellaneous options that control how Total Visual Agent operates.
