texte = Hey D- I'll a more in depth review later, but on initial playtesting - adding a new invoice, looking up that invoice, I say it looks kick ass! I can tell that you've put in a lot of work on this. I'll open up my billing program that I use over the weekend, it's hardly as full featured as yours but it's gotten me by for a couple of years (somehow). :) Great job!
