4. The “Message” option give you some great ways to get some important reminders.
1. Leave the “Prompt at quit to export to PASS information unchecked.
2. I would check the “Prompt at quit to export Edline Information”  This allows you to get a message when you log off to export to edline.
3. I would leave the “Prompt at quit to run backup” option unchecked as long as you have the “Auto-backup” checked.
4. The “Prompt when duplicating a postable assignment is probably a good one to have checked.  This will let you know when you have more than one calculation that you are planning on exporting to SchoolMaster.
5. Make sure that you have the “Auto-Backup” checked.  To configure your automatic backups click this link.  Autobackups.
