MODERATORS NOTE- I have split this post from the George as it has now changed to a WCP post, and thought it needed its own thread

Hi Dave

I have to say that i truly hope you dont find any bugs in WCP!! I hope no-one takes this as me having a go at George at all but i can import your debt list into WCP if you would like me to.

Best regards
Brad

[Moderator David@stives]

OK Brad

I do i transfer the data ?

If there any bugs, guaranteed, I will find them, do you want to take that chance ?

Hi Dave

If you do a George data export and email it to me (debt list export also) i will do the data conversion as a priotity for you, if you give me a couple of hours i will have it returned to you as a WCP data back up so you can jusy upload it into your WCP. As we have discussed previously George does not export notes etc so i cannot get them into WCP unfortunately.

Ian and i always around so if you have any problems at all then drop one of us a line  and i am sure we can overcome them.

Thank you for giving us the chance to show you how WCP has evolved since you last trialed it and thabk you to all the other guys on here who mentioned WCP, its nice of you all to support WCP the way you do and it is appreciated by Ian and myself.

Are you ready for my debt list, I have just scrolled down the debt list to line 1664 

[Moderator David@stives]

Good start, I can't import my Jobs into Pro.

Looks like I will have to do them all manually

Well Dave, its gotta be done so send it over and i'll get onto it tomorrow for you. I would normally offer to do it tonight but i need my beauty sleep to look as gorgeous as i do !!

On a serious note, send it to me and i will get ot converted for you, it may take a little longer than plannned but it isnt a problem and i will get onto it asap for you.

Oh, i ought to point out that we haven't managed to get the 'arm holding a chamois leather' to come out of the CD tray yet ... Dave will explain that one to anyone interested, it involves a phone call from a man with a strange accent asking about how WCP actually cleans windows!

Send me the export file and i will convert it Dave. Its not the easiest routine to convert the data so send your George back-up file to me and i will do it along with your debt list for you

Whats wrong with you lot, good old fashioned pen and paper for me, never let me down

[Sean Dyer]

you cant see how much is owing at the push of a button though, or how much work is for next week, or print off a debt list or work list for an employee

computer just makes things quicker (well supposedly) it is better i have got pen and paper too but too much adding and working to do

[bad trippy]

Gosh however did we cope in 1985?

Good old pen and paper in my pocket on the day of cleaning (printed list of customers on Excel spreadsheet ) . Data gets transfered to "my" Excel spreadsheet on PC when I get home. Upload it to a free server for storage every 2 weeks (just in case PC crashes) .No problems.

Day book, outstanding book, earnings book, expenses book, lovely jubbly lol

If its broke dont fix it mate, but i find wcp is easy

I started with pen and papoer.  It worked fine until the round started growing though.  Then it became a hassle.

It sounds funny now but for a few years I used a spreadsheet called "Rocket" (it wasn't  ) on an Amstrad PCW with a half megabyte memory expansion cartridge.   Those machines were so archaic, they didn't even have a hard drive.  Even the floppies were only half the normal capacity of the ones that were being used later on PCs.
I had to split the data up into half yearly segments (6 months on each disc) and I would go make coffee while the data was saving.  I managed to fit some state of the art technology to it it - a single coloured bubblejet printer with the rather unfortunate name of BJ10 SX  .  I was still using that printer for certain jobs until a couple of years ago. 
If I fiddled around with the DIP switches, I could get it to print out the spreadsheets sideways - one month at a time.

I had an Amstrad PCW too, just after my Spectrum 48k !! I wrote a sales presentation on it and it took about 10 minutes to save and the same to print out on some ancient dot matrix printer....in hindsight it was probably the worst presented presentation i have ever done but at the time i was on the cutting edge of technology!! How times change eh?
