Sorry for delay..

Slip stream...  Too much to type.. when we are on the phone next time I will explain more..   But I am sure those other people on Mac's understand what I am referring to 

QB 2005 / 2007 works great with Firefox as well, especially with using the Googe Base functions of 2007.

Tested with Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 for the Mac..

Ahsan,

There are a couple of tricks to make all the programs happy when using the Thermal Printer.

For Dazzle, I have the paper size setup as 4.00x6.00    Label orientation is Portrait, Face Up, Top First, Left Side.

One of the "gotchas" I had found in the beginning was that in the  printer properties it was set as "user defined" for the paper size, this needs to be changed to 4x6 and paper layout to portrait.

To access this menu, locate the printer (usually Printers and Faxes under Windows 2000, 2003 or XP - found in the start menu, settings)

Select the printer, then right click for properties, expand the "Paper/Output" menu and you will see the options i was referring to above.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.. 

What size labels are you using for UPS?

We have been using the UPS label for UPS and USPS for quite some time.. 

I do have microsoft live communications server..

Allows for audio / video, handwriting messages, application and whiteboard sharing / desktop sharing, file transfer and a bunch of other stuff..

Just let me know ahead of time how many people we are looking at to participate.

I have a bunch of other software that can be used for web demos and or video training..

We can do an online "meeting" with up to about 30-50 people anytime anyone wants to get online etc..   All web based for text, audio and video etc..

Rox - your boys wouldn't drive me nuts...  remember, we have Emily..

Marketing... ah yes... I am loosing allot of money in that area right now...   

Just not enough time in the day to get everything done..  was trying to outsource some work and as usual that was a disaster..

Rox - Send your boys out here.. I have a job  or two for them    Cash...

When i am able to focus and concentrate, we do pretty well with organic searches, of course with Yahoo / MSN changing their algorithms every other second, Google almost seems easy to keep up with.

Phoenix in the middle of July should be warm enough for you 

Nathan,

Sounds good to me.  Creating a "process flow" icon set would be very beneficial; in addition to the immediate benefit for current users, this would be a great tool for marketing purposes as well.

Let's get an affiliate program started   

Once we get enough "power users" and regulars on this forum, i would encourage a small get together somewhere over a weekend or something to share ideas / tips / tricks etc..

Hi Nathan,

Unfortunately my brother still uses a paper trail for all the orders, either telephone or y-store.   I agree that a process control and various other tabs and or icon indicators would greatly enhance the program and hopefully eliminate the need for paper trails.

Personally I don't use any sort of paper trail. I personally hate paper / pens. Old technology     I have my own methods to track the status of orders and am using alot of exporting reports to Excel in which I run some macro's and end up with an excel spreadsheet that will provide me with a clear view of where each order stands.

Yes,  I am a geek. 

Hi Rox,

Yes, the new mac version is QB 2007.  they are now on the same playing field.

Of course another method to using QB on a mac is to slip-stream the applicaiton from windows to the mac and that works very well too..  In fact that is how i use super manager on the macintosh..

Hi David,

Yes, I am familiar with how the system will advise us if an order has already been exported.

My suggestion for this feature was to eliminate the time it takes to export the orders; while the system is able to scan and determine which orders already exist in QB and can skip them, depending on the volume of orders any particular store may have, it just adds to the time it takes to export the orders and when you have multiple people whom may handle exporting of orders to the accounting software having an icon or maybe a different color on the exiting icon to indicate it has been exported would be a time saver for everyone involved.

We have multiple people whom work in our SM files and will export the orders to QB; unfortunately we have yet to find a way to identify orders that have already been exported; would it be possible for SM to automatically mark the orders with a different icon once they have been successfully exported?

I noticed in the release notes that SM is supposed to shutdown when an update has been downloaded and is about to be upgraded.  SM still does not automatically close down when installing an update. Once we receive the dialog box asking to install the upgrade we manually have to close down the application.
