Automating invoices. Excel or access?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Ken Wright
  • Start date Start date
Your clock might be but your date isn't - You are one day ahead of the correct
date, and this is what will drive everybody nuts :-) It jumps off the page at
everybody because our newsreaders log all posts by date and time, and yours just
sits there apparently 24 hours in the future, and stops new posts being shown at
the top of the newsreader (Which is why a lot of people will simply delete it).
That having been said, can you tell me who wins in the 15:30 at Fontwell Races
tomorrow :-)

Doubleclick the time at the bottom right of your PC and then when the
clock/calendar appears, just notch the date back to the right date (1 day
prior). Hit Apply or OK and you are done.
 
Hi Ken!

Fontwell Races tomorrow"

Will do! I'll diary note for tomorrow.

Ken - how do you know about newsreaders - don't you use Outlook Express?
<g>

Aardvark's clock problem doesn't bother me in the least - my newsreader
threads by reference and sorts by article number, so messages with the
wrong dates just have wrong dates, they don't appear in any particular
date order. And why should Aardvark's problem affect me, anyway? I
certainly wouldn't allow someone else's date problem cause their posts
to "jump off the page", much less "drive (me) nuts".

And for my newsreader configuration, the more recent new posts appear at
the bottom of the unread article list, though that's just because I like
it that way.
 
rotflmao - Yeah but you use one of those funny machines don't you, so it's no
surprise that it all comes out wrong on yours <g>

yeah, and I'm a closet bottom-poster, too...
 
LOL - I just figured your machine didn't give you the option, as obviously
no-one would ever do it by choice <g> :-)

Actually, nearly everybody bottom-posted or in-line posted when I
started reading news in 1984. All the Unix newsreaders had that as their
default configuration.

People, for the most part, snipped the messages they replied to so that
only the relevant material was copied to the new message, which meant
that you could easily tell which point of many the responder was
replying to. Those that didn't snip, often didn't get read.

Top-posting, at least in the groups that I've frequented through the
years, while it existed in limited form, didn't become really popular
until the advent of OE, which top-posted by default.

Top-posting led to a doubling or tripling of both storage requirements
and download times for news, since top-posters are much less likely to
snip irrelevant portions of the post they're replying to. Messages
stayed on the servers for much less time, decreasing the value of the
groups. It also instantly led to a decrease in communication
effectiveness as a reader had to guess which of the seven questions that
the OP asked was being replied to by the post with one answer.

Yet another "standard" that MS managed in one swell foop to muck up,
bloat, and slow to a crawl. The 800-pound gorilla with the Midas touch...


As for me, after being beat up frequently here, I've consented in these
groups to be assimilated by the unwashed, the lazy, and the clueless.
Not that I feel judgmental...<g>

(but I do bottom post in all the other groups I read!)

I can't believe that ever happens (But you did choose the funny machine!!)

Well hopefully after snipping (Even trimmed the sig) / quoting and and bottom
posting ( I feel born again now :-> ), you won't judge me too harshly :-)

Hi all,

I want to set up an invoice system in which I can put the persons name and
the other details (Address etc) are automatically added. Ideally the
information would then be automatically copied to another worksheet for
subtotalling. Is this better done in access or Excel?

Thanks

Aardvark
 
To everyone who helped thanks,

To the guy asking about system date...what do you mean? System Date?
My clock on the pc is correct. Is this what you meant?

Thanks,

D
