Hi everybody.
It has been a while since my last post, off course, asking you all for help.
I have changed jobs and with it the need to use excel, which I did on a daily basis, has diminished considerably.
I am now full time self employed as a fire alarm engineer and spend most time out of the office.
I have been using quickbooks for quite sometime, as my accounts solution, but as it is due to be upgraded, for a cost that I can not yet afford, I find myself once again, back to the drawing board.
I have tried kashflow and a few on-line options, as I do find that perhaps a cloud based solution is better in the sense that should my PC pack up, my data is on-line and thus protected, or at least it should be.
Anyway, the real question now is, as I have done quite a few things on excel, and I must say I miss the joggling and crunching of code as it has always intrigued me, not forgetting to mention the priceless, honest, unbiased advise and help from all of you out there, should I pursue a small application that will manage my simple invoicing system.
Should I base this small application, spreadsheet more like it, on excel or access?
I don't do much, only 2 or 3 invoices a month.
I am thinking about using forms for almost all, such customer data, apart from using a form to enter invoice data. Always struggled with this last one, and in the past, the way I was doing this was to have the invoice layout as a document itself and print it from there.
My knowledge is limited on how to use a form that will show client data like address etc, and then lines for services and/or stock. I am sure there is a way, but just don't know how.
Anyway, I hope that you all, good people, can once again help on this small project.
I can and will, without a doubt, share this project with you all.
Many thanks.
Regards,
Albert
