no... now office using 2007. changed from 1997 not long ago (yes you didn't read wrongly! using 1997 when it's already 2010! )

totally hate the graph plotting in 2007.. it's simply STUPID... can't believe 1997 can do better..........

previous job used 2000, home PC was 2003, hubby's PC was office XP, current Macbook is 2011...... i think i have used almost all versions of Microsoft Excel from recent years~

what i did was doing a lot of automation. once he choose "kitchen" then full list of items works to do for kitchen will come out for him to choose. once he choose the work, then picing will come out automatically again. that way, he no need to worry abt typing wrong spelling or quote wrongly. Also i have options for him to select different levels of clients so for eg, those returning clients, different pricing, recommended clients different pricing and walks in different pricing. but all these are just indicative. He still can change pricing if he wants by doing it manually.....

it will save a lot of his time and his other workers time.

wah cannot say like that la.... "carrot" is a sensitive word hahahahaha should say good customers got good discount

But May herself said different pricing wo

Then it should be renamed as " different discount policy" which sounds more appropriate.

- Walk in New customers: no discount

- Repeat customers: X% discount

- Recommended customers: Y discount

Seems your working relationship with your contractor is

Good relationship = good working atmosphere, easy to 'cham siong', easy to nego.

I already taken the 'Bad Customer' award, left with the award for 'Good Customer' which can give it to you now.
