New Project VIII

Since the end of March, work commitments have not allowed me much time for TaskMaster updates. However (and due in the main to issues arising at work) I have added a few data fields here and there, and made corrections to clear bugs as and when these were discovered.

Some minor features have been added. For instance, the Log On/Log Off job timer at the Jobs Records form.

I also added a facility to permit more than one location for a Stock Item at the Parts form. Although that may sound like a minor enhancement, it is quite a significant improvement upon my traditional parts routines.

However, the most significant step forward has been the implementation of a method of updating datafiles between computers at various locations. For example, recent work at a remote PC can be zipped into a file (which I call DataPack.zip), uploaded (or passed across, using a memory stick, or whatever) to the host computer, and unpacked by a routine to update the host datafiles. Once again, it may sound easy, but it required a fair amount of work!
