Confirmations Tab

The following list describes the properties for the Confirmations tab on the Preferences dialog box, which enables you to specify when you want confirmation messages displayed:

Confirm everything

If selected, specifies that you want the system to backup the map prior to saving. The system will save a copy of the map with the same root name as the map, but with the file extension (.BAK). The backup copy will be stored in the same folder as the map.

Note: The Backup before saving function is only available when you perform a Save function (not a Save As).

Confirm when I

Specifies individual confirmation messages by action performed.

Note: These parameters are only available if the Confirm everything check box is cleared.
