Do you offer a mobile app version?

Looks like you have to purchase FileMaker Go ($39.99) for the iPad or the iPhone ($19.99) and then import the PAID database into it.

[headpooch]

Yes, you need FileMaker Go to run PAID on your mobile device.

As with any mobile device there are certain limitations ... printing, exporting, screen size

Attached is an excerpt from the PAID User Guide.

Hey, J.E., correct me if I'm wrong, but Filemaker Go just accesses the Filemaker database running on a networked computer, right? FM Go can't actually run a Filemaker database on its own, without a connection to the net (as I understand it), and without the Filemaker database up and running on another computer.

Hi Mark

Filemaker Go can work with files served on a network or files stored locally on a mobile device (iPhone/Touch/iPad). The files on the device do not require a connection to the net.

You can email the PAID Mobile file to your mobile device or sync it with your desktop computer using iTunes. The FMG app is improving all the time, and eventually I feel that the current limitations (printing, etc) will be overcome.

Personally, I find the best mobile solution is a MacBook Air, which screams speed and has the screen real estate necessary.

PAID, of course, is available for Mac or PC.

Is there a way to manually enter your final mileage? I use my personal vehicle to get to and from work, and I do my own personal runs in-between shoot days. Therefore, entering a starting mileage and an end mileage wouldn't be an accurate representation of the mileage I do during multiple day shoots.

Love the program though.. Still testing it out, but if everything works out I may have to switch from Quickbooks.

The mileage is determined by the odometer readings. You can enter a mileage start or end, click the calculator button, then enter the mileage manually and the odometer readings will be updated automatically. But you need to enter one or the other.

I guess you can do 1 and 126 if you do 125 kms a day, but it seems to round the number up or down automatically. I'd prefer at least one tenth of a decimal. Could be just me.. I'm pretty anal with my accounting.

I would bet they aren't too anal with the payment to you for mileage (at least they wouldn't be here, likely to round DOWN rather than up).

" I'm pretty anal with my accounting. "

and for the tax folks, you round up!

so just round up!
