I have customer that I helped setup Express Accounts on to me for the last 2 days about "where is the option to do the End of Year".

I had to tell them that I can not find it as well. Is it me or have they move it or renamed it.

As I am typing this I am also thinking it is soon time for me to do my end of year as well. If this is missing it will be a very big bug for a lot of us.

I am using version 4.44 and also my customer is

Ken,

You could always upload them to photobucket or some like it

Hi GrahamW,

I had a look at your screen shot and I can tell the problem is down to your logo. My logo is about 1/4 the size of yours and the problem is not there.

The version number on mine is the same as yours 4.42

here is a screen shot of mine invoice screen shot

Tony

go to tools -> options

then click on the tab "other"

then click on the e-mail settings.

To answer your other question Yes it is free. the free version only allows one company to be setup and the other thing that limited is the web access

Tony

It is free.

they have put the paid and free version in one.

to get the free version to keep working

go to add and remove programs in the control pannel

select express invoice and uninstall there will be an option to downgrade to the FREE version

select it and click next or finnished ( I can not remember which as I have done it ages ago)

here is gmail out going mail server settings

smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)

Use Authentication: Yes

Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587

Port for SSL: 465

also you have to put in your e-mail adreess and the user name and Password for it

there is the way mine is setup

SMTP Mail Host = smtp.gmail.com

Server requires authentication = ticked

User name = (your username to access gmail)

Password = (password to access gmail

Use secure connection (ssl/tls) if acailable = Ticked

Default reply email = (your e-mail address)

I was think about this and I am going to e-mail NCH in a week to see what they have a to say and I would like your review on this.

I have never need the "record and fax" option myself and I though that "record and create PDF on the web access would be more useful

If I know what version of windows you were running (using) it will make it easy to tell you where the data files are

Graham,

I have also downloaded version 4.02 and I have notice that they fixed the COD and the pay in days bug.

They have fixed the bug that I was talking about.

if you add a purchases that you made it does not take put the stock in to a - figuer and it does not add to it.

If you use it to track stock as well and what you order from who as well you have to creat a purchas order before you can enter the invoice if you what it to up date the stock.

Maybe it me but I think this is a long way of doing it. If it is a new item of stock you will have to enter it first before you can creat a purchas order for it.

what do you think and also how to you look after stock if you have stock

Graham,

I have found another bug if you use the purchas (ie invoice from suppliers add stock) to add stock to the sales items it. It takes it away instade of adding it to the stock table.

this is how I found this.

1. added a new item to the stock table, but did not add qty in.

2. added the invoice from suppliers and added the qty that I got from them for the item added (which qty was about a 100 of that item.

3. was checking the stock that evening and notice that the new item that I just got in stock was showing a -100 and I sold none.

4. I tred tryed selling 10 of them to a test account to see what would happen and it went to a -110.

Not good.

I was going to buy this software but with bugs like that its not good.

Tony

PS I have also just reported this bug

Hi Graham,

Just notice that and also there is another bug.

If you select "COD" you can change the days but if you select "Pay in days" you can not change it.

Tony

go to the e-mail setting and do the following

1. set the software to "send directly to the other side (work as own SMTP servr)"

2. Put in your e-mail address in to "Default reply email" box

This is how I got it to work.

No Problem.

I glad I could help

Here is an idea you could add a new vat (tax) rate at the old rate 17.5%. Then you would have to go through all the old invices and edit them and set them to the new vat rate you have made (17.5% one )this is what I done when the vat rate changed here in ireland last year

How to do I setup the credit card gateway for paypal.

If it is for each line/item then yes

1. Go to "Options"

2. Click on the tab "Other"

3. Untick the box beside "Do not show discount column on invoices/orders/qoutes"

Now you should be able to put in a % of discount into the discount column and the software will work it out for you ie

if an item price is 100 euros and you give a discount of 20% then the total will be 80 euros on the line

Hi

Could anyone e-mail me a copy of express accounts 3.04 to pos @ mcgcs.net or is there any where I can download it from.

My Computer crashed and I have a back up of the data but I do not have the install program.

I also would like to be able to edit the discription on the invoice.

also the country is a bit of a pain as I have costomers in differnt countries.

Please could the drop down list for countries be removed as is is no use for me as well and Ireland is also not in it.
