FormCalc is our new add-on software that works with Microsoft Windows versions of QuickBooks to let you do calculations on QuickBooks forms—Invoice, Sales Receipt, Estimate, Credit Memo/Refund, and Sales Order forms.

FormCalc works with current versions and most older versions of QuickBooks: Standard, Simple Start, Basic, Pro, Premier, Enterprise, etc. (FormCalc does not work with QuickBooks Online Edition.)

FormCalc works right there in the form you're working on, in QuickBooks—you don't have to leave QuickBooks or look up the form in a list. And all results calculated by FormCalc become part of the form's data, ready to save, print, or email.

What kinds of calculations? Here's a partial list:

• Calculated columns. You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide any two numeric columns (even Custom Field columns) to calculate values in a third column.
   
  Example: Quantity x Weight = Extended Weight on each line of an invoice.
   
• Column totals for any numeric column, including Custom Field columns and columns FormCalc has calculated. So besides calculating an Extended Weight column, as mentioned above, you can have a Total for that entire column!
   
  Example: Show "Total billable hours" at the bottom of your invoices.
  
• Subtotals within any column. There's no limit to the number of subtotal lines you may have in the form's detail area.
   
  Example: Divide your Invoice or job Estimate into sections describing different parts of a job, or work by different people, or labor applied during different time periods, and show labor hours subtotals for each section.
   
• Unique-item "counts" within any form column (including Custom Field columns).
   
  Example: The last line of your invoice could show totals for the number of S, M, L, XL, and XXL shirt sizes in your customer's order, if "Size" is a QuickBooks Custom Field.
   
• Count the number of boxes, cartons, pallets, etc., on an invoice, Packing Slip, or Bill of Lading.

Where do I go to register? Every forum page has box in the upper left corner that says "Log in now or Register", and clicking on the Register link will take you to the registration page.

Will I have to log in every time I visit the forums? No. If your Web browser is set to accept "cookies" the forum software can automatically recognize you (actually, your computer) when you visit the forums, so most of the time you won't be bothered with having to enter your password.

What if I want to my change settings later? At the top of every forum page is a menu of forum command items—Topics, Profile, Help, Member List, etc. Click on the Profile command to make changes to your member account settings.

If I register, won't everyone be able to see my email address? No. The forum software keeps it private. Only the forum moderators (currently limited to Flagship Technologies' staff) have access to forum email addresses. And those addresses are used only for notification and forum-related business/housekeeping.

Privacy Note: We're very serious about email privacy and want you to have full control over the email messages you receive from us. For this reason forum membership does not automatically add your email address to the list of people who receive this newsletter, and the reverse is true also. For details on how we handle your personal information, review our Privacy Policy online.
