Frequently
Asked
Questions
Is
this a
one-time
fee?
Yes,
this is a
one-time
fee.
There are
no monthly
fees,
subscriptions
or
renewals.
Can
we use an
iPad or
other
Tablet
with this
software?
Ours
is not a
stand
alone
program,
it is an
enhancement
to
Microsoft
Excel.
Therefore,
you must
already
have Microsoft Excel
installed
on
whatever
device you
plan to
use.
There
are now
many
Tablet
manufactures
(HP,
Samsung,
Acer, Lenovo, etc)
that are
running
Windows on their
Tablets.
These
devices
will also
run Microsoft Excel.
This
article
states:
"Anything
you can
run on a
desktop
will run
on a
Windows 7
tablet"
Microsoft
has released
their own
tablet,
called Surface.
The Surface
tablet is
running the current version of Windows,
and can be
preloaded
with
Microsoft Office, which includes Excel.
Also,
some
computer
manufacturers,
such as
Dell, are
now making
tablets
that
convert to
laptops.
These
machines
basically
serve the
function
of both a
laptop and
a tablet.
So,
if your device is running a fully functional version Microsoft Excel 2007, or
newer, our program should function on your device. However, to be sure, download
and install our Trial
Program.
Can
we use a
smartphone
or PDA
with this
software?
Ours
is not a
stand
alone
program,
it is an
enhancement
to
Microsoft
Excel.
Therefore,
you must
already
have Excel
installed
on
whatever
device you
plan to
use.
However,
if your
work
computer
is a PC
that runs
Windows XP
Professional,
Windows
Vista
Business,
Windows 7
Pro, or a
Windows
Server
operating
system,
you can
set it up
to be a
remote
desktop
server;
this will
allow you
to connect
your
smartphone
to it over
Remote
Desktop
Protocol (RDP).
Then, you
can use
your
iPhone/iPad,
Android
device, or
Windows
phone to
access the
Excel
program,
and our
software,
that is on
your PC,
to
remotely
enter
field
data.
If
you are
looking
for a way
that your
field
technicians
can record
the data
to their
smartphones,
so they
can later
upload the
data to a
server for
report
compiling,
this is
not the
software
for
you.
There are
already
other
companies
offering
this
capability.
What
we are
offering
is a more
convenient
and
productive
way for
you to
manage
your
reports in
house,
instead of
outsourcing
this
process.
Allowing
you to
save money
by
eliminating
monthly
and annual
fees, and
have more
control
over the
creation
and
appearance
of your
reports.
Is
an
internet
connection
required
to run the
software?
No
internet
connection
is needed
to run or install the
software.
Are
any of the
worksheet
calculations
done
automatically?
Yes,
but only
if you
purchase
our
software
with the
pre-installed
templates.
If you
look
through
our Sample
Templates,
please
take
notice of
every
place you
see a
0
or
#DIV/0?
or
0.0
This is a
value that
is
automatically
calculated.
UPDATE:
Since our
most
recent
upgrade,
there are
even more
calculations
that are
being done
automatically.
How
do I
obtain the
software?
A
download
button
will
appear
immediately
after you
make the
payment.
Just click
on this
button,
and our
software
will be
downloaded
to your
computer.
Can
I create
digital
copies of
our final
report?
Yes,
most Excel
versions
have a
built-in
feature
that will
automatically
create a
PDF file
of your
entire
report.
Click here
for
instructions.
If you are
using a
version of
Excel that
does not
have this
feature,
you can
obtain
free PDF
converters
by
performing
an
internet
search.
Do
you
provide
technical
support?
Yes,
we will
provide
technical
support...no
additional
charge.
We can not
afford to
leave you
stranded.
If we did,
our
reputation
will
quickly
become
tarnished,
considering
the
relatively
small
world of
testing
and
balancing.
Can
scanned
documents
or
pictures
be
inserted
into the
Excel
worksheets?
Yes
they
can.
In fact,
if you
look
through our
Sample
TAB Report,
the static
pressure
"sketch"
on the
Static
Pressure
Profile
page (page
6) is
a .bmp
image that
was
inserted onto
that
particular
page.
If you
purchase
our
software,
we can
help you
through
this
process...no
additional
charge.
Your
name and
logo are
all over
the Sample
TAB Report
and the
Sample
Templates.
Will this
be on the
forms that
we use?
No,
we will
not place
our brand
anywhere
on the
forms.
The
samples
have our
brand on
them just
to show
Excel's
capabilities.
If you
decide to
purchase
our
software,
with the
full set
of
pre-installed
templates,
you can
easily
replace
any of our
company
information,
and logo,
with your
own
designs.
Click here
to see
how.
If you
have
trouble
with this,
just
contact us
and we
will help
you...no
additional
charge.
We
already
have
templates,
but they
are in a
different
program.
Can we use
them?
If
you want
to use
those
forms,
they will
have to be
converted
to the
Excel
format.
You will
certainly
have some
things to
"clean-up"
if you are
successful
in doing
an
automatic
conversion...like
formatting
the Excel
cells to
recognize
the data
as
numbers,
text,
dates,
etc.
...setting
up the
auto sum,
and
formulas,
to work
with the
proper
cells, so
you
get the
expected
results.
There may
be a few
other
issues
that will
pop up
when this
conversion
is made
automatically.
If you
need
assistance,
we can do
the
conversion
manually
for you.
