Would this be mush mush get on with it  :

[Ian Gourlay]

Derek shame on you one and a half years!

Why not start from tomorrow and work backwards with your data?

If your data is in access you can transfer it straight across and input the inoices later.
That should keep you off the forum for at least a week

Ian,

To fill my data I have customers from newpaper adds, internet and cold calling.
Prity much the same as when I ran the business before only difference is I don't
take the crap I did before.

Dave are you cold calling in person oor on phone . Companies or homes. Glad to see you are doing it .

Do not want to hijack thread but tod a couple of people about software  yesterday so this will get it back up top and they can find link.
  If this does not make sense  my screen is jumping and I cannot see a word I am typing . Does anyone else have this problem 

[Joe H]

Jumping screens Ian - what you on?

I am on my 3rd day of testing the software.
Very easy to input the info.
I can already see that to use just to send mail shots will make life an awful lot easier as I was hand writing envelopes - no computerised database.
Finding my way around the functions but so far looks positive.

[Vicki]

Hi
Im on my 1st day trial and so far so good looks ideal and easy to use.
Does anyone know if you can save the complete(not the trial) version to disc or memory stick to back up?
Thanks
Vicki

[Vicki]

Excellent thanks for that Mark.
I take it you have purchased the software and use it then? How do you find it?

[Joe H]

Vicki
You can back up the data you have inputted to a memory stick or another section of hard drive, but I dont think you will be able to back up (or make a copy) of the program - much like other programes.

[Vicki]

Thats excellent, just what i was hoping to hear 

Thanks again Mark

[colin thomas]

i usually make a charge for the work done, say £60 and then when i enter that into my current package it takes account of the VAT, in other words i don't have to work out the VAT, that doesn't seem to be an option with this software, or am i missing something??

colin

[colin thomas]

i must be doing something wrong then, i have the vat reg box checked but wherever i input the £60 it doesn't work out the vat. i'll give kevin a call perhaps,

[richy27]

bought copy the other day its really good and value for money

[Buster Ingram]

Well done Richard it’s better to scratch your ass than your head

What I mean is at least with this package you have got a reference to look at where your works  coming from and a good marketing arm to mail shot with.

Fair play to Kevin for putting some thought into this software.

[derek west]

displaying 71 clients with invoices, phewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 not even got to this year yet.

its all go intit

derek

[Mike Osbourne]

A good way to motivate yourself to add a backlog of records is to do a batch and then do a mini mailshot just with that batch rather than wait till everything is on there and do one massive one.

Between 50/100 would be the minimum though otherwise you risk getting nowt which is even more demotivating.

Have you also remembered to put the VAT rate in as well?

[Buster Ingram]

Roger I think Derek is looking  more at WAT ( wear and tare)with the mamoth task he has  rather than VAT

[david washbrook]

dave i will call you 2morrow but will i be able to put my window cleaning customers into this as well

hope your well
dave

[Buster Ingram]

Yes Dave you can it’s a simple data base that can be tailored to suit your business.

It has to be if I can use it

[david washbrook]

cheers dave ill call u 2mo

[david washbrook]

dave how do i get the trial version to try again as kev gave me 1 at the ccdo but i didnt try it properly and it has expired

[Ian Gourlay]

Just to remind you to register with

I think its The Data Protection Agency


I would  have to check my fileling system for correct name , but saw document the other day when looking for somthing else
