What if I want to use 2 computers, one at home and one on the road?

We will be bringing out very shortly a multiple user version which will automatically synchronise the two databases. All you will need to do is to transfer the log file to the other machine and the software will do the rest. Being a 2 way process both machines will always be kept in step. You will also be able to skip transfer of data, such as accounts. i.e. The home machine could run the accounting area without updating the laptop. Even invoicing on both machines will be possible with synchronisation taking place in the evening!

Can I invoice multiple horses?

Yes. When invoicing you will select a client. You will then be shown the horses that client owns. Tick a horse and start invoicing and when ready to invoice another horse simply tick the new horse and continue invoicing. The invoice will separate each horses totals for you together with providing an overall total.
