Helpful Hints
Purging DTE data files
|
Purging data can be a scary endeavor but Down To Earth makes it easy to
be confident. Most any DTE history purge offers the option to save deleted
records. Choosing Yes is strongly
suggested. That allows the data records to be easily
archived, not deleted, should you ever need to restore the purged
data.
Below are more suggestions to organize
your system for easy access to reports and data, while keeping your data files smaller and
more efficient.
Step 1: Make a new storage folder/directory on your system, something like …\dtev70\archive.
Step 2: Create a report of the data that will be purged. You can print the report to hardcopy but you might also consider creating it as
a Report file by choosing “File” from the Print Option menu. If you create a report file, be sure to save/copy it to the new storage
directory for easy reference later.
Step 3: Go ahead and purge the data and create an archive
file. When the purge is complete, be sure to copy
the archive file into the new storage directory,
too. The archive file names differ based on the file
being purged but will always have a filename extension of “.pur ” and found in the WRK
directory.

A short ride from local airports,
the Golden Strand Resort features one of South Florida’s finest
beaches.
The
beautiful rainbow of colors and lights, filtered through palm trees, bougainvilleas, hibiscus and
beautiful tropical vegetation provide the perfect setting for vacation
paradise.
The Resort offers various amenities for the
comfort of its residents such as: beach, outdoor semi-olympic pool, restaurant, Tiki Bar,
Spa, and the Golden Club (including an exercise room). In addition, a DSL/Wireless equipped Internet room, a vast library and
games, playground, shuffleboard, and guest services are available for people of all
ages.
The
pastel-painted Art Deco hotels are landmarks in Miami's historical districts. The Miami City
Ballet, the New World Symphony, the Jackie Gleason Theater and the Broward Auditorium are among the
many places for world class entertainments. Museums, parks, non-stop nightlife, tropical evenings
at an open air café ... and walks down Collins Avenue are enjoyed by many of their
guests.
Within
this beautiful resort is a little bit of Down To Earth, too. Golden Strand Resort was first introduced to DTE in 1997 when Accounts
Payable and General Ledger were bundled with their Resort/Timeshare
software. Since that time, their Down To Earth
version has been updated and the platform moved from UNIX to
Windows. Many of the enhancements in the
current DTE v7 were just what the accounting department was looking for, plus one custom
change. Because of the unique location, they
often have foreign ownership of their timeshares. So in 2008, they decided to add a new 1099 format, 1042-S
(Foreign person’s US Source
Income) to make their year end accounting more efficient.
So the
next time you think of Miami, think of Golden Strand Resort or visit
them…

With the
popularity of text based communication on the rise,
texting has become a foreign language to many.
But What in the
World is that
language?

WitW What in the
World !
It’s hard to
believe that there are over 1,000 text shortcuts used every day (some only common for gaming
or blogs.) Amid the many text shortcuts, you might find these in your e-mail, cell phone, iPhone®,

New
DTE v7
Updates Available
Inventory
and
Payroll
|
Two DTE applications have added new features that may be helpful to your v7.0
Down To Earth processing...
§ I
nventory– a new
Miscellaneous menu selection is available to update item master costs from third party
software. Either Last, Average, or Standard costs
can be manipulated within Excel, saved as a Formatted text (space delimited) format with a
.prn file extension, and loaded into Down To Earth.
§ P
ayroll – Deduction codes
now have the option to use Division and/or Department codes for the General Ledger
distribution. This update does require special timing as the deduction code file is
converted to a new size. But for some, having all the deduction expenses funnel into a single
account (without a division or department) is best.
If you’re interested in either of
these updates, please contact Technical Support for questions or to schedule an
update -- support@datvsn.com
