Whenever you do an action you get a box come up telling you that the action has been completed and to click OK.

Is there anyway to turn this off?

So when there's a update to the program does the program update it's self or do you have to go to your web site. And does the demo get the update?

Martin,

The program will check for an update and ask you if you want to download and install it. You dont have to go to the website to download.

Yes the trial version does get all the updates.

All,

I have uploaded the new update, apologies for it taking a little longer than expected. The new update is 2.3.4. When you open WCP it should connect to the server and tell you there is a new version available. Follow the instructions to download and install.

If you are not notified there is an update then please check your firewalls to make sure that you allow wcp to access (If you need a hand with this let me know). The major changes in this update are:

Screen Layout Updates to allow scrolling on Accounts, Rounds and Expenses screen.

About Us Window Error

Separated house number and street name

Auto complete of street names

Worksheet error when printing worksheets for first time

Persistence of service, account, frequency and address details

Future dates and Schedule screen refresh

Expandable column headers on round screen

Expanded customer reference on worksheet printouts

Added headers to the schedule list

New line for company/customer name on invoices

When you exit and backup the application now closes

Split pane on schedule screen to make the split heights equal

Removed validation for customer salutations

Added days of the week to frequency

There are a few other minor changes like spelling etc...

I will try and get another update out with some more reports, pre printing invoices, quoting and some other changes that have been requested.

Please let me know if anyone has any problems

Thanks

Ian

is there a way that you can change the default settings on JOB .
so that i can have it set as standard
frequency set at 1 month
account as last set on last job
tax rate turned off

I think this would make it a lot faster with the input of JOBS
If i can set the program to these Defualts can you please tell me how.
Regards
Martin

These changes (apart from not displaying the VAT) have been added to the new update.

let me know if there is anything else

so what do i need to look for when buying a hand held device for wcp as i wouldn't want anything fancy just something basic to run the program and nothing else.

paul

I would also like to know. Have looked on net for anything running Windows Mobile 5.0 and the results are in the £100s.
Anyone know the cheapest as i'm not a fan of anything that is too expensive to be disposable.


I know some people that have bought a HP IPAQ RX1955 series from ebay for about £50-£60

a couple of things, how do you put a purchase order on the invoice?
should the profits screen on accounts not show the cleans untill they have paid?
The calender should be able to say put appoints and things to do in not just the scheduled work!

Ronnie,

I am not sure what you mean by the first comment?  Can you expand a little?

The accounts screen can show cleaned (Invoice Accounting) or collected (Cash Accounting). There is a drop down box to switch between the two. You can also set which one you require by default under Tools->Preferences.

I have plans to be able to add events to the calendar in the future, at the moment it is a tool that can be used to view your cleans only.

Thanks

Ian

                                                                                  it stop here at... to

I want to get the details tab,or have i got it wrong.there is not scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.

A good feature would be an option to print an automatic worksheet which will print all due work to a certain date. without picking individual jobs to add to the sheet.

In George I have this option, i just go jobs/ print worksheet / to date/ then you pick your date then it prints everything which is due



Dave,

I didn't have time to get this in the new update but is on the list of thing for the next update. My main priority tomorrow is to get the George import utility completed.

Thanks

Ian

This is normally a firewall problem. You will need to allow the program c:/Window Cleaner Pro/.install4j/updater.exe access to the Internet.

Make sure you back up your data if you are going to uninstall and downlod the latest version. I will upload a new page to the website where you can download the update rather than the whole version.

Let me know if anyone needs any help
