John - now that you have a quote facility it would be usefull to be able to email the quote (and invoice) directly to customers.

On a roll - might as well push my luck - History screen displayed in order of due date - urgent jobs could then be seen in the order of priority.

Yikes Mark!

Steady on.

The History Screen thingy has been requested by a few users and should not be a problem so I'll see about including it in the next release. However, emailing your quotation, presumably as a PDF attachment, would be fairly major and might involve an additional charge to cover PDF royalties. Not an area that I'm familiar with, but I will look into it as I like the idea myself.

Yikes ? i know it was the second posting just pushed you too far.

With the email invoice suggestion, i was thinking more along the lines of being able to print to file - as i am not sure what format you use to print the present docket i am probably on thin ice in my assumptions of what can be done to the output file. idealy i envisaged a very straight forward system of - print to email button - this then opened up the invioce in outlook - user adds recipient address and Bobs your Uncle Robert. Dont I make it sound sooo easy - 10 minutes computer tapping and you should have it done????????????????javascript:emoticon(':roll:')

You got me in to this now Mark.

Until something more elegant comes along...

Download and install the free CutePDF Writer from http://www.acrosoftware.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

Now when you select Print from the Print Preview Screen, you will have the option of saving the docket as a PDF file which you can then attach to your email. And Fanny's your Auntie (as long as she has Acrobat Reader, of course).

Just tried one, works a treat.

OH BTW how do I get updates I'm pretty sure my program has never automatically updated since I got it. Do I have to do something manually???

If you are online click Options then in the General Options tab, around the centre of the screen click Check for Updates

The current version is 7.46

(Updates are always announced on the forum.)
