After you have claimed a loss for three years on a home based business and it still was a loss in the 4th year, can you claim those losses or should you stop claiming the loss?
Keep reporting the losses. However, as the others stated, make sure that this does not qualify as a hobby.
I wish to be able to download the report to an excel spreadsheet and then complete the same exercise on another pc to determine the software variables. Any ideas?
There is. It's not pretty, and you might be better of writting a script.
Using Regedit.exe, go to this location (or programmatically go to this location):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall
Here, you will find a node for each uninstallable product. All you need to do is iterate through these nodes. Or, you could export this node and then parse the resulting file - it's up to you.
Thanks to Y!A truncation, you can't find the right key. Here it is, I broke it out over different lines:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Hello,
I am looking for a shopping cart software that can do lots of good reporting and has a refer a friend program. Any suggestions?
Google has a nice shopping cart. Not sure of all the features on it but I know people who have used it and they loved it. Info can be found here: http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_Shopping_Cart_Overview.html
For some employees, this just amounts to starting work in the morning and punching out at the end of the day. For others, this may involve keeping detailed start and end times for various activities, projects, or jobs throughout the day. Whatever your business needs, time and attendance software allows your employees to record this information much more easily, accurately, and objectively. Employee time clock software can help lower the operating costs of your business by making payroll processing more efficient, ensuring attendance compliance, making labor costs more visible so you can lower them if necessary, and helping automate the billing or invoicing of your clients.
Time Clock Software Simplifies Payroll
Time and attendance software takes all the punch in and out times that your employees have been recording and generates instant timecard reports based on your payroll rules. Regular hours, overtime, and paid leave time are instantly calculated and totaled for easy input into your payroll software, or sent to your accountant or payroll service. Manual or modified timecard entries should be flagged for easy follow-up and monitoring. Time tracking notes from employees explaining a late or missed punch allow you to quickly adjust timecard entries and print new timecard reports before sending off your payroll. Better yet, export your time clock program data for easy import into your payroll software. Your employee time clock software data should be automatically archived so past payroll reports are always instantly available for any period of time. This means all those hours spent preparing manual timesheets for payroll processing can be reduced to minutes. Timeclock software brings increased efficiency to your business, which saves you money!
Time Clock Software Ensures Attendance Compliance
Time clock software allows you to fully manage time and attendance, even tracking unpaid activities like lunch breaks or unpaid sick leave. Each employee timecard software report should display time spent on unpaid activities completely separate from hours worked. Make it easy to enforce your business rules by knowing how many unpaid days off employees have used. Time clock software makes it easy to track unpaid leave taken under FMLA and mandatory furlough policies. If you are an educational institution looking for a way to track time spent by students in learning or tutoring labs, you can drastically reduce the amount of time spent on mandatory state reporting of compliance with the individualized educational plan for each special education student or adult education hours with time and attendance software. Tracking employee attendance helps you schedule employees more efficiently and ensures compliance with certain legal obligations, which saves you money!
Time Clock Software Manages Labor Costs
Time and attendance software uses those same employee timecard payroll punches for labor costing. By including employee gross wages, your timecard software reports can be summarized to provide you with labor hours and dollar costs for any activity, task, job, or department for any period of time. Labor costing reports will quickly show you actual labor hours and costs on a per job basis. You should have easy access to timecard software reports that monitor labor costs for each business activity. Your time clock program reports will accurately track all employee time spent on each job, showing you changes in job labor costs from job to job, or the same job for any time period. Timeclock software gives you the knowledge you need to allocate actual labor hours on a per job basis, and being knowledgeable about the resource usage of your business saves you money!
Time Clock Software Automates Client Billing
Time and attendance software should summarize timecard reports by client, job, or department for the accurate billing of labor hours. Run timecard software status reports to make sure you are remaining within project budgets before the project ends. Set your time clock program rounding calculations for billing to the nearest minute, or in tenth or quarter hour increments. Your time tracking labor totals can now be easily entered into your invoicing or accounting software for accurate and timely billing of your labor. Quickly add a time tracking note to your reported client hours to explain job details or project tracking status. The key to tracking labor time accurately is to record new job activities as they happen. Most time clock software is easy to install and configure so it can be affordably deployed on any computer at your business. This ensures real time job tracking is convenient and easy for your employees. Timeclock software helps you accurately bill clients and stay within project budgets, which saves you money!

When it comes to defining the health and financial state of a company, the only way to see all aspects is to have reporting software that is robust enough and flexible enough to deal with all the data. Many times companies have software packages from several different companies and the databases don't always cooperate. Having a package that you can easily customize is key. Java is a programming language that gives companies the ability to write exactly what they need, so getting a management reporting software package based on Java adds a level of flexibility not available with many others. Java reporting software enables you to take data from all aspects of your enterprise and integrate it so you can see what's going on.
Many businesses use a MySQL database while others prefer a single format like Microsoft SQL. Other businesses have specific applications which they have to customize their databases to them. And to complicate things even more, many accounting packages use proprietary databases.
Here are some signs you need a java reporting system:
- The biggest sign you need a java based system is if you've got several different databases in your business. You will have the ablility to import data from different sources with Java.
- Java based systems rapidly integrate all sorts of disparate datasets into a single dataset to work with reporting.
- J2EE reporting systems gives you the option to customize reports constantly to indicate your business changes.
- Java systems will export in virtually format as well. This means you can take reporting data from a custom designed production database, integrate it with accounting data and export it to any Microsoft Office format like Excel for graphing and charting.
With Java reporting tools, you will be able to get data from any database. Even if you're using custom built databases, pulling data for reports goes from a hassle to a breeze. Generating your reports will be as simple as a click of your mouse once the set-up on the import and reporting side is complete. Using other reporting solution methods can have a lot of uncertainty with them and the flexibility of Java reporting software can take care of that. Take a look at your needs and see just how easily Java based reporting software gives you the reporting solutions for your company. Being able to get a clear picture of the bottom line has never been so easy. Or so flexible.
Been in the home for only 6 months. Builder/ Financer has broken contract and not completed all work stated by time stated. Will not answer mail, phone calls or emails, but cashes mortgage every month. He does not report to our credit and we dont want to hurt our credit, but need to find a way out.
You will not get out of a contract because of your job.
However, if you can prove the other party has breached the contract a judge may release you. you would need to file a breach of contract lawsuit.
I did internet tech support for 2 years, and I was pretty damn good at it. then i got laid off. I don't want to work in call centers forever so what kind of jobs would be good to look into. Am i screwed since my type of job is being sent to india? I have a college degree and I didn't just do tech support, I moved up to coaching ( training others on how to do tech support, QA, some technical writing like creating training packets for specific kinds of troubleshooting (ISDN, dial-up, common windows mac/software) are their specific locations I should look into? im not into programming. all these jobs i see for like networking, analysts, etc want experience that I don't have. apparently you need experience in order to gain experience. At this point I am thinking about just working a gas station or walmart since the pay is the same as tech support.
Some companies have their tier 2 / senior level technical support still in North America, for customers that are unsatisfied with the Indian call centre experience. Not only are these higher level support centres still here, but they value the experience and skills that seasoned technical support specialists can bring. Plus, you'd be on the short list to a supervisory and/or management level position.
While you may not want to work in this field anymore, it's definitely more relevant to the abilities you've described here and a big step above working at a gas station or Wal-Mart (unless you're working in IT for the latter, which is among the largest overall technical resources in the US along with the Pentagon and Google at last check).

Smartlist Builder/Excel Reporter - Used to create Smartlist other than those out-of-the-box with GP. Smartlist can be built to combine companies, pull third party data, and pull data from other databases. Excel Reporter was added to Smartlist Builder with the version 10 Feature Pack for Dynamics GP. Excel Reporter is used to create refreshable Excel reports similar to Smartlist exports except that the data may be refreshed in Excel.
Excel (MS Office) - A powerful reporting tool that integrates with SQL data, FRx, Smartlist, Analysis Cubes, and SQL Reporting Services. Pivot tables allow users to summarize and "slice and dice" a set of data in many ways.
Analysis Cubes - Used to allow users who are not familiar with database structures to write reports. The cubes store a fraction of the data in the ERP system to allow users to dig into data. Excel is the primary delivery method, but there are sophisticated OLAP viewers available. Dynamics GP has 2 cubes available:
Out of the Box SQL Reporting Services Reports - You can give non-GP users access to the most commonly requested reports, such as trial balances, aging reports, sales summaries, and stock status reports. Manage security on the SQL server and allow the users who need these reports to run them in internet explorer - without ever logging into GP.

I am running Windows XP on my MacBook. I have to to be able to use my court reporting software as it is only able to run on Windows. There is a process where I can use the Bluetooth capability on by steno machine to communicate wirelessly to my Mac. However, in the setup of this process for my software, it requires that I designate a "COM" for which the writer will be sending the information wirelessly. I assume that is because most computers have bluetooth adapters and are not built in. Does anyone know what that would be on a Mac? I have options N and 1-32. I have tried N, 1,2,3,4 and 32 to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
Bluetooth is not a COM port.
