Rebuild database - This option will compact and rebuild the NotePager Net database. All of NotePager Net's modules must be stopped in order to rebuild the database (this can be accomplished by clicking on the pager icon in the Windows system tray (next to the clock) and choosing 'Quit' or 'Stop' from the popup menu). All NotePager Net Clients must also be exited. Please note that an external rebuild utility is also included with NotePager Net. It is called 'Jetcomp.exe' and can be found in the NotePager Net program folder. This utility can be used in cases where the NPN Admin program is unable to start due to certain types of database corruption. After the database is rebuilt, you will have to restart the NotePager Net Server module. If NotePager Net is running as an application or Windows 9x service, restart NotePager Net by choosing 'NotePager Net Server' from the Windows start menu. If NotePager Net is running as a Windows NT service, click on the pager icon in the Windows system tray (next to the clock) and choose 'Start' from the popup menu.

Password Protect - Entering a database password will restrict access to the database from programs like Microsoft Access. Without the password, the database cannot be opened. If this password is set, the next time each NotePager Net Client is started, the you will need to enter it (you will be prompted for it automatically). The NotePager Net Client will only prompt for this password once, and then it will be stored for future program startups (unless the password is changed again). DO NOT LOSE THIS PASSWORD. If this password is lost, the database may become permanently inaccessible!
