On the customer screen F1, you now have the ability to add multiple phone numbers for each customer (cell phones, etc.) so that regardless of the number entered to look up the customer, the customer will be displayed and multiple entries for the customer will be eliminated.

We also have added the ability to see the sales for the customer for the last 365 days or calendar year, # of times they visited, and ave $ per visit.

In addition, we have added 3 new info fields in the bottom right hand corner to store data of your choice. We can label the data whatever you wish.

On the product/invoice screen, when you now do a look up, it allows you to do another lookup without exiting as well as highlight a product and use F11 to see the product information.

The program now allows you to add a comment line (such as one of the above or one you create) to the individual product on an individual invoice, print it and store it as well. You can either choose a pre existing comment or type one of your own on the fly..

When looking up a customer history, you can now highlight an item on a specific invoice and press F10 to print out a duplicate invoice to see all items on that invoice. Customer history is displayed from most recent going back in history

Now the popup windows have been re-colored to make it easier to read.
