4317.0. "PC Based Expense Forms?" by ACISS2::GIVEN () Mon Dec 11 1995 11:38

    Where can I find a PC based expense package/tool which will allow me to
    do my Digital expense reports? I need both the standard form and the
    vehicle form. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    
    
    Thanks!

    Try calling Chuck Packard @GNO, I know he uses one along with all the
    other engineers here in the Greenville Office.  You can have him paged
    by calling DTN: 367-5027 and leave a message.
    
    Hope this helps.....

    There is also a commercial package called Quick Expense.  You can buy
    the package and download the Digital form (already created) from the
    developers BBS 800 number.  There is a trial version available as well
    from the BBS.
    
    Dial

    Sorry got cut off there.
    
    Dial 1-800-358-2193 for the BBS.  Choose the SUPPORT directory and
    download QXTRIAL.EXE.  Then do a search under ALL FILES for Digital. 
    Digital Equipment's form will pop up or just download DIGTL.EXE.  It's
    better than just the Excel file supplied by corporate.

    Why not use the FREE software in the EXPENSE conference mentioned a
    while back?

    I recently tried the free sw in the EXPENSE conference (got the pointer
    here).
    
    I am NOT impressed.

RE: .4

	The Excel file supplied by Corporate? I thought that was done
	by someone in their spare time. What makes you think Corporate
	would do anything to address this problem?

RE: .6

	Yea, me too. I applaude someone trying, but the user interface
	needs ALOT of work. It's very non-intuitive.

    I have not tried the PC version of the EXPENSE program.  I do use the
    VMS version.  I don't travel much, so I don't have to do a whole lot of
    data entry.  The user interface is All-For-Nothing-like, which I don't
    like, but it is consistent.

    If I still have to submit my paper receipts, what is the point
    of electronic expense filing?  I get my refunds in a timely fashion.

    well, for me the point is it is easier to do, keeps an electronic
    record of all my reports, and does the arithmetic for me.  
    
    Plus, the secretary can read them.  (my penmanship is not the worlds
    greatest).

4317.11How to use UK to US conversion ?HELIX::SONTAKKEWed Jan 03 1996 16:036
    I am talking about the VMS program voucher.  It has "Conversion Rate"
    on the 1st screen but how do I enter 1GBP == 1.63 USD in it?  When I
    try to enter 1.63 it will not let me enter the decimal point, says
    Numeric Required!

    I'm looking for something similar, preferably Excel based and being
    a European I would need to input exchange rates.
    
    I am not looking for something complicated that will print actual 
    expense form's but simply a tracking spreadsheet.

    I am sure that this is easy to do but not knowing Excel (developing
    a spreadsheet rather than using one) I ask here if anyone already  
    has something,

    Send me an external mail address and I'll send you a floppy with a .xls
    file that should do it.
