Opening an Existing Form

Advanced Forms Management

Existing files can be opened in a number of ways. One way is from the Property Report Index. A 2^nd way is by clicking the Open Appraisal button on the QuickStart Bar, and the 3^rd way is by selecting File | New. Each of these last two methods results in the display of the "Open Report" dialog shown in figure 3-1.

The "Choose Form Type" drop-down defaults to the last form type that was used on this computer. If this is not the type of form you wish to open at this time, click the drop-down arrow and scroll up or down to select the desired form type.

TIP: you can also begin typing the name of the form and the list will scroll to match your input. For example, typing ‘Fre’ will bring you to the Freddie Mac 2055 form.

After a form type is selected, you can either type in the Report File Number, or scroll down and select the desired file number form the list. Click OK to open the selected file.
