Helpful Hints
Fax &
E-mail
Direct from DTE v7
Today’s
paperless world offers speed and convenience.
|
Down
To Earth's Windows version 7.0 offers your business the same by utilizing standard Fax and
e-mail "print" drivers for any DTE application report via the new API printer
functionality.
F
axing or attaching a DTE report directly to an e-mail is a
snap. Even 132 column wide
reports can be "printed" directly from the Windows
API preview mode using either a fax or e-mail print driver as one of the printer
choices.
Most current Windows operating systems
include a Windows Fax driver that works just fine with DTE. Preview
the DTE report with an API printer selection, click on the Printer icon, and choose the Fax
driver to automatically start the
Fax Wizard. E-mailing a report requires a third party e-mail
driver such as Leadtools E-print workstation driver, but works just as easily.
As with faxing, choose the Leadtools driver to
invoke the software package, the option to e-mail, then the attachment format.
(You can create a PDF, MSWord, HTML, or ASCII attachment
format.) Complete your e-mail message and
send. It's that easy!

Export
DTE Data
Many Down To Earth
v7 users may not realize there is a simple export utility built into the System Manager
application.
|
You choose the DTE data
file, fields within that file, filter the data if you want, then create an export file... on
the fly.
The DTE System
Manager Export utility uses the DTE Repository included with any v7
distribution. The Repository (like a data base)
defines the different files and data within.
Within the System Manager application, Files menu column, choose "Export data
file." Pick a File and Structure (usually the same name),
output file name to use, and the type of format of the file to export.
Several files may be linked and you can choose data from any one of
them. You can also filter the data based on four different
conditions such as... Transactions with a date greater than (GT)
01012009.
So before you re-enter data into a spreadsheet a second time, think
Export!

Jargon
Some internet light
shed on everyday
abbreviations.
You use them every day but maybe you don't know what
they really mean... what do the letters stand for... and just how does that work? (It really
isn't "Magic and Fairies.")

In our continuing series of internet terms,
usage, and information, we explore Internet Addresses, unique computer locations,
somewhere out there in cyberspace.
URL --
Uniform Resource Locator is the global internet
address or name for all documents, files, and resources on the World Wide Web. As an example, the
URL for Down To Earth support information is:
http://www.datvsn.com/d2esupport
The first part of the address is called a
protocol identifier indicating what protocol to use
-- the "http" part. A protocol is, simply put, an agreed upon format for communications between two
devices.
HTTP -- Short for
HyperText Transfer Protocol, defines how messages are formatted and
transmitted over the internet. It is the primary protocol for web addresses but there are
others.
The second part of the address is called a resource name. It specifies the IP address or the domain name
where the resource is located. -- the "www.datvsn.com/d2esupport"
part.
Short for Internet
Protocol, IP specifies the format of packets -- pieces of information
-- transmitted. (Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP), but that's a different FUGT
article!)
And just so the internet knows the
difference between these two parts of the address, the protocol
identifier and the resource name are
separated by a colon and two forward
slashes.
Now you

Leap Year in 2012
Change Accounting Periods to include February 29
|
When closing your fiscal year in 2011, be sure to change the February Accounting
period to include February 29, for your new fiscal year 2012.
Within General Ledger, select
"Close/open year" and confirm the current fiscal year date range. For the field prompts,
choose Neither for Function, Yes to copy accounts; No, don't
bring balances forward, and through the default retained earnings account number.
The Neither option
copies the chart of accounts and sets up the new accounting periods automatically except for
February 29 in a Leap year -- that needs your help.
