The Framers Forum

I haven't got a tablet yet I guess I was just seeing if anyone could recommend a particularly good one for this job. We were thinking of the microsoft surface which comes with excel, word etc. but if anyone can recommend a better one we are not set in stone.

We are about to go mobile and want to run EstLIte on a tablet which also has 3g so we can take payment. Just wondering what others are using and how they have found it.
thanks

Thanks John
as usual really helpful and quick.
hope you have a good christmas.

Yes John there is a tick, whats the consequence of unticking it other than it resolving my immediate problem? does it mean you can't switch between the different calculation methods?

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? When I put the price per meter into the moulding cost box rather than a suppliers code or from my moulding list, I then go to the details page and it won't let me put a code in the box ( it doesn't allow me to type anything in the box) . It also won't let me ju...

Thanks for this I am just waiting for my parter to get to get some time to look at this ( It't his job to sort out) I am sure we will then have more questions. Thanks for the help so far, syncing will save so much hassle.

I am going to have to run estlite on two computers ( one in our mobile showroom and one in the shop) is it then possible for the information to be combined so I am not running two customer databases ?
thanks

is anyone using the lion metal hanging system mentioned for all of their mouldings? If so how have they found them and any chance of a picture? I am thinking of using them in a mobile showroom but would like to know what the pitfalls are, I don't want the chevrons falling off every time I go over a ...

Has anyone managed to use the Dymo 450 Duo with Estlite? and if so how, I am struggling to get it to work and wish I had bought a basic dymo rather than one that does ribbon labels as well. I thought it would be ideal for chevron labels.

Thanks john,

I am at a loss with this one can anyone help me identify it please.

Great day and a big thank you for all the hard work in making it happen.

Hello Steve,
I am so pleased to hear that you are still around in the world of framing, you have got me out of a number of pickles over the years so a big thank you and good luck with your new venture.

Hello
having upgraded from bbest I would now like to put all my previouse customer info into the customer data base. Is this possible without printing Dockets for each job? sorry if this info is out there somwhere but I have looked hard

thanks John and yet again what fantastic service, I am sure you are supposed to be putting your feet up on a sunday afternoon rather than working to help people like me out. I am now up and running so big thankyou, I think now that I have a more reliable set up I will trial the full programme. I tri...

I have a new computer and need to re-install bbest, i have my name and key code but can't find where to put it! :head: I think I am being a bit thick but only seem to find where to buy the package again and how to download the free trial. Will contact john monday if no one around today but am a litt...

What sort of acrylic are people using as the standard, where are you sourcing it and how are you cutting it? I have used specialist acrylic but this is not cost effective for some and I have manged to avoid using the 2mm flimsy acrylic so far.

Hi try contacting Jan Stanlick at framers equipment in northampton, they do a shirt/memorabilia and box framing course and you will pick up loads of other framing information at the same time.
Great courses, friendly training, small groups, all at a really good price with a lovely lunch thrown in.

beaten to the post. Your quick.

you are looking for EconoSpace, self adhesive acrylic spacers in clear, black and white. Lion sell it (www.lionpic.co.uk ) and so do Tawneycraft in Northampton sales@tawneycraft.com. I am sure other suppliers do.
good luck
