Other options

Overwrite existing files

Replaces the existing version of the carried forward file. By default, if a current year client file with the same name and in the same location is detected, Cantax FormMaster will not perform the carry forward and will indicate in the carry forward log that the operation did not take place. Select this option only if you want Cantax FormMaster to replace the existing client file.

This option is only available when you show the options before carrying forward (see below).

Delete the source file after the carry forward

Deletes the client file for the previous taxation year after the carry forward is completed. Select this option only if you do not want to keep client files for the previous taxation year. In the event of an accidental delete, the file can be retrieved from the Windows Recycle Bin.

This option is only available when you show the options before carry forward (see below).

Show options before carry forward

Displays a dialog box that allows you to select the options for a specific carry forward. Clear this check box if you do not want to display the options when carrying forward a client file.
