Introduction
------------

Account Manager is a tool designed for people  who
must  keep  track of how much time they  spend  on
different projects or accounts.  Examples of  such
uses are...

   * A  person  who charges their time  to  several
     different projects
     
   * Someone who bills to multiple clients
     
   * An  entrepreneur  who  must  keep  records  of
     business  vs. personal use of a computer  for
     tax purposes
     
   * And many more!
     
To  use  Account Manager, you "punch in"  to  each
project or account as you begin working on it, and
"punch out" when you are done.  At the end of  the
week,  or  whenever you need a report of how  your
time  was  spent, Account Manager will generate  a
report,  showing  your time in varying  levels  of
detail.

Account  Manager also has a convenient feature  to
make  it  even easier to use.  After your list  of
projects  has been entered, you can click  on  the
Account  Manager icon with the right mouse  button
to get the Quick Access List.  This list shows all
of  the  projects in your list, and makes it  very
easy and convenient to punch in and out of them.

For  even  greater  flexibility  and  convenience,
Account Manager can automatically punch in or  out
of a project or activate itself when certain user-
specified applications are started.  You may never
have to punch in or out manually!

For those occasions when you must exit Windows for
whatever  reason, Account Manager includes  a  DOS
command-line  interface so you  can  punch  in/out
from DOS.

Note that Account Manager requires Windows 3.1.


Packing List
------------

Your package should include the following:

     This manual
     Distribution disk
     License statement
     
The  following  files should  be  present  in  the
distribution disk:

     ACCTMAN.EXE    Account Manager starter
     $AM.EXE        Account Manager program
     ACCTDLL.DLL    Account Mgr. support library
     ACCTMAN.HLP    On-line help file
     DOSACCT.EXE    DOS command-line interface
     CTL3D.DLL      Library for 3D controls
     ACCTMAN.TXT    Documentation text file
     
If   any   files   are  missing,  please   contact
Winnovation.


Installation
------------

Important: You must make sure no other  copies  of
Account Manager are running when you install  this
version.

If your disk came with a SETUP or INSTALL program,
simply  run  that  program.  To  do  this,  select
Run... from the File menu in Program Manager,  and
type  a:\setup  or  a:\install (change  the  drive
letter if necessary).

If  you  did  not receive an installation  program
with your copy of Account Manager, you can install
it  using the following instructions.  First, make
sure  that no other copies of Account Manager  are
currently  running.  Then simply copy all  of  the
files  from the Account Manager distribution  disk
to  a  directory such as C:\ACCTMAN.  To  do  this
from  a  DOS prompt, type the following  (assuming
your floppy drive is A: and your hard disk is C:):

     MKDIR C:\ACCTMAN
     COPY A:\*.* C:\ACCTMAN
     
Also    move   the   file   CTL3D.DLL   to    your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  You may need  to  close
other  applications to perform this copy,  if  the
file is in use.

After the files are copied, add Account Manager to
a   Program  Manager  group.   To  do  this,  find
ACCTMAN.EXE with the File Manager and drag  it  to
the group you want in the Program Manager.  To run
Account Manager every time you start Windows,  add
Account  Manager to the Startup group  in  Program
Manager.   See  your  Windows manual  if  you  are
unsure about how to do any of these steps.


Upgrading from an older version
-------------------------------

If  you are upgrading to Account Manager 1.3  from
an older version, you should make a backup copy of
your  project list and database files.   The  file
formats that this version uses are different  from
the  previous  versions, and  the  files  will  be
converted  immediately  to  the  new  format  when
Account Manager 1.3 starts.


Registration
------------

When  Account Manager is first started,  you  will
see  a  registration reminder screen.   Click  the
Register... button and you will see the  following
registration screen:

                    
                    
Enter  your name EXACTLY as shown on your  license
statement,  and  enter  your  serial  number   and
registration  code  (also  found  on  the  license
statement).


Getting Started
---------------

This section is intended as a general overview  to
using  Account  Manager.  For more detail,  please
refer to the reference section.  Please note  that
the   words  "project"  and  "account"  are   used
interchangeably within this manual.

When  you  start Account Manager, you will  see  a
screen similar to the following:

                    
                    
The  large  space on the left side is the  project
list.   You  should enter each project or  account
that you work on in to this list.  To do this, you
should  click on the top portion of the list  (you
will  then see a flashing cursor there), type  the
name  of  the  project, and click the Add  button.
When you do this, you will notice that the project
has  been added to the list.  Repeat this step for
each project that you want to enter.

For  each  project that you enter, you may  select
whether or not Account Manager should prompt for a
comment  when  punching in  to  that  project.   A
comment  is simply additional information to  help
you  track  your  time with more detail  (see  the
Comments   section  in  this   manual   for   more
information).

After  all of the projects have been entered,  you
may  punch  in to one.  To punch in to a  project,
select  the project in the list and click  the  In
button.   Alternatively, you may  double-click  on
the  project name in the list.  If the Prompt  for
Comment box was checked, you will be prompted  for
a  comment for this session.  After you punch  in,
the  status line at the bottom of the window  will
reflect which project you are punched in to.

To  punch out of a project, simply click  the  Out
button.   You  can also just punch in  to  another
project  -- this will automatically punch you  out
of the first one.

To  make  punching  in  and out  more  convenient,
Account Manager provides a Quick Access List.   To
access  this  list, minimize Account  Manager  and
click  on  the  icon with the right mouse  button.
This will bring up a list of your projects for you
to conveniently punch in to and out of.

If  you wish to delete a project, select it in the
list  and press the Delete button.  Note that this
will  not delete the data in the database for that
project -- it will merely remove the project  from
the Project List.

To  generate  a  report, select Create  Reports...
from  the Reports menu.  You will have the  option
of  creating  several different kinds of  reports.
For  details  about  the  different  report  types
please refer to the reference section.

Project Lists and Databases
---------------------------

In  Account  Manager,  the Project  List  and  the
Database   are  two  different  things.    It   is
important to understand the difference.

A  Project List is simply a list of your projects.
It  is  displayed on the main window, and also  in
the  Quick  Access List for easy access.   Project
lists are usually saved with a .AMP extension.

A  Database contains all of the punch in/punch out
data.   Every  time you punch in to or  out  of  a
project,  the database file is updated.   Database
files are usually stored with a .AMD extension.

Note that Project Lists and Database files are not
connected in any way.  A Project List exists  only
for your convenience.  It is possible to punch  in
to a project which is not even in the Project List
(to  do  this,  type the name of the  project  and
press  In  --  do not press the Add button,  which
would  add  it to the Project List).   Conversely,
deleting a project from the Project List will  NOT
delete the associated data in the database.

To  find out the current Project List and Database
files, choose Get Status... from the File menu.

Note that database files can grow quite large over
a  long  period of time -- it is recommended  that
you  delete old records periodically via the  Edit
Database  option.  This will reduce the file  size
and also speed up report generation.

Note  that the application setup information  (see
the Application Setup section for more details) is
stored in the .AMP file with the Project List.


Comments
--------

Comments are extra information you can enter  when
punching  in to a project, to provide more  detail
about your activities.  This allows you to keep  a
more detailed log of your time.

Each  project  can be individually  configured  to
prompt or not prompt for a comment when punched in
to.

When  you are prompted for a comment, you will  be
shown  a  drop-down box which contains a  list  of
your  10  most  recently used  comments  for  your
convenience.  You may either select one from  this
list, or type in a new comment.  Then click the OK
button  to continue punching in.  Pressing  Cancel
at this point will cancel the punch in action.


Database Options
----------------

The Database menu contains several options related
to database management.


Punch In Earlier
----------------

This option allows you to punch in to a project at
an earlier time.  This is especially useful if you
start  working on a given project, but  forget  to
punch in to it.

When  you  select this option, you  will  see  the
following screen:

                    
                    
Information Fields:

     Previous  Project: This is the  name  of  the
     last  project that was active.  If this is  a
     new database and there is no previous project
     on file, this field will say "(none)".
     
     Punched In/Out At: This is the date and  time
     that  the previous project was punched in  to
     or  out  of  (whatever the last punch  in/out
     event  was).   If this is a new database  and
     there  is  no previous project on file,  this
     field will say "(N/A)".
     
Selection Fields:

     New  Project Name: Enter the project you wish
     to  punch in to here.  You can either type  a
     project  name, or select one from  the  drop-
     down  list  of  projects.  If a  project  was
     selected  in  the project list  on  the  main
     screen, then that project will be shown  here
     as a default.
     
     Time  To  Punch In: There are two  fields  in
     this section.
     
      Date:   Valid  dates  are  in   the   format
      MM/DD/YY.
      
      Time:  Valid  times are in the format  HH:MM
      (24-hr),  HH:MMa  or HH:MMp.   For  example,
      the following are valid times:
        8:00, 14:35, 2:35p, 1:30a


If  the  project you punch in to is configured  to
prompt  for  a comment, then you will be  prompted
for the comment.

Note  that you are not permitted to punch in to  a
project at an earlier time than the previous punch
in/out  time.   If you need to do this,  you  must
delete  the  last record in the database  via  the
Edit  Database option.  You are also not permitted
to  enter  a time which is later than the  current
time of day.


Punch Out Earlier
-----------------

This  option allows you to punch out of a  project
at  an earlier time.  This option is useful if you
forget  to punch out of a project, or if  you  are
away from your computer when you stop working on a
project.

When  you  select this option, you  will  see  the
following screen:

                    
                    
Information Fields:

     Current  Project: This is  the  name  of  the
     currently active project.
     
     Punched In At: This is the date and time that
     the current project was punched in to.
     
Selection Fields:

     Time  To  Punch Out: There are two fields  in
     this section.
     
      Date:   Valid  dates  are  in   the   format
      MM/DD/YY.
      
      Time:  Valid  times are in the format  HH:MM
      (24-hr),  HH:MMa  or HH:MMp.   For  example,
      the following are valid times:
        8:00, 14:35, 2:35p, 1:30a


Note that you are not permitted to punch out of  a
project at an earlier time than the previous punch
in  time.  If you need to do this, you must delete
the  last  record  in the database  via  the  Edit
Database option.


Punch Out on Exit
-----------------

This option causes Account Manager to punch out of
the  currently active project when exiting.   This
is  convenient in case you forget to punch out  at
the end of the day, etc.

If  this  option  is not enabled,  then  you  will
remain  punched  in  to the  active  project  when
Account Manager is closed.


Warn if Active on Startup
-------------------------

If  this option is selected, you will be warned if
you  are  already punched in when Account  Manager
starts.   The  warning  will  be  similar  to  the
following:

                    
                    
The top lines reflect the currently active project
including the time it was punched in to.  You have
the following options:

     Remain Punched In: Select this option if  you
     want  to  remain punched in to the  currently
     active project displayed.
     
     Punch Out Now: Select this option if you want
     to  punch  out now from the currently  active
     project displayed.
     
     Specify  Earlier  Time to Punch  Out:  Select
     this option if you want to punch out from the
     currently active project at some time  before
     now.   Note that you are not allowed to punch
     out before the current project was punched in
     to,  nor  can you punch out after the current
     time.
     
      Date:   Valid  dates  are  in   the   format
      MM/DD/YY.
     
      Time:  Valid  times are in the format  HH:MM
      (24-hr),  HH:MMa  or HH:MMp.   For  example,
      the following are valid times:
        8:00, 14:35, 2:35p, 1:30a


This  option is convenient if you stay in  Windows
all  of the time.  If this is the case, then there
is  no  reason that you should be already  punched
in  when Account Manager starts (unless you forget
to  punch out), except for a system crash or other
undesirable occurrences.


Enable Application Punch In/Out
-------------------------------

This menu option enables the automatic application
punch in/out feature of Account Manager.  For more
information,   refer  to  the  Application   Setup
section of this manual.


Application Setup
-----------------

Account    Manager   has   the    capability    of
automatically punching in or out or prompting  for
a  project  when other applications  are  started,
closed, activated, or deactivated.  To get to this
setup screen, select Application Setup... from the
Database Menu.

To  enable  automatic application punching  in  or
out,  set  up the applications how you  want  them
from  the Application Setup screen and then select
Enable  Application Punch In/Out from the Database
Menu.

The  following  is  a  typical  Application  Setup
screen with a few applications set up:



The  following  is a description  of  the  various
fields on the Application Setup screen:

     Event:   This   is  one  of  the   following,
     depending on when you want to trigger.
     
      Activate:    An   application    is    being
      activated; for example, the user clicked  on
      its  window.   In technical  terms,  a  top-
      level unowned window is being activated.
      
      Deactivate:   An   application   is    being
      deactivated;  for  example,  the  user   was
      working  in this application, but they  just
      clicked in a different window.
      
      Start: An application is being started.
      
      Close: An application is being closed.
     
     Application Title: This is the title  of  the
     application you wish to trigger on.  This  is
     NOT  the  file name - it is the name  of  the
     program,  as shown on the title  bar  of  the
     window  when it is first started.   You  only
     need to enter the first few characters of the
     name  - for example, if you enter Calc,  then
     Calculator  will match.  The more  characters
     you enter, the more specific you can be as to
     which application will trigger the event.  If
     you  enter  less  characters,  then  multiple
     applications  will  match  and  trigger   the
     event.   For  example, if you enter  C,  then
     Calculator and Clock will both match.
     
     If  an  application  matches  more  than  one
     event, the event is chosen which matches  the
     greatest number of characters; i.e., the most
     specific event that matches.  For example, if
     you  have two application events with  titles
     of   Cal   and   Calculator,   then   running
     Calculator  will only trigger the  second  of
     the two.
     
     If  this  field  is  left blank,  then  every
     application will match the name (except those
     that match another event more specifically).
     
     Action:  This is the action you want  Account
     Manager   to   take   when  the   application
     starts/closes.  The options are:
     
      Punch In: Punches into a project.
      
      Punch Out: Punches out.
      
      Activate:  Activates  Account  Manager   and
      prompts   for  input.   Note  that   Account
      Manager  will  remain on top  of  all  other
      windows  until some action is taken  by  the
      user.
     
     Project:  If  Punch  In is  selected  as  the
     Action,  then  this is the project  to  punch
     into.
     
     Comment:   There   are  three   options   for
     comments:
     
      None: No comment.
      
      Application  Title: This  enters  a  comment
      which  is the title of the application  that
      triggered the event.  This is convenient  if
      more  than  one application can  trigger  an
      event  -  this  comment can tell  you  which
      application it was.
      
      Select:  Allows you to enter a  comment,  or
      select one from the history list.


To add a new application event:

Fill  in  the  event  you  want  using  the  field
described above, and click the Add button.

To change an existing application event:

Click   on  the  event  in  the  list,  make   the
modifications you want using the fields  described
above, and click the Change button.

To delete an existing application event:

Click  on  the  event in the list, and  click  the
Delete button.

Note  that application setup information is stored
with the Project List in the .AMP file.


Editing the Database
--------------------

This  function allows you to delete data from  the
current  database.  This can reduce  the  database
size,   resulting  in  faster  report  generation.
Also,  if you should accidentally punch in or  out
of  a  project,  you can delete  the  most  recent
records  (punch in/out actions) from the  database
one at a time.

When  this function is selected, a screen  similar
to the following will be displayed:

                    
                    
Information Fields:

     Database:  This  is  the  filename   of   the
     currently loaded DatabaseDATABASEFILES file.
     
     Database contains information from {date}  to
     {date}:  These  are the range  of  dates  for
     which   information  is  available   in   the
     database.
     
Selection Fields:

     Delete  data from {start date} to {end date}:
     Selecting  this option and pressing  OK  will
     delete  data  in  the database  ranging  from
     start  date to end date, inclusive.  A  punch
     in/out  pair will be deleted if the punch  in
     time is within the date range specified, even
     if  the  punch out time is not.  Valid  dates
     are in the format MM/DD/YY.
     
     Delete  data  up  to  and  including  {date}:
     Selecting  this option and pressing  OK  will
     delete   data  in  the  database   from   the
     beginning  up  to date, inclusive.   A  punch
     in/out  pair will be deleted if the punch  in
     time is within the date range specified, even
     if  the  punch out time is not.  Valid  dates
     are in the format MM/DD/YY.
     
     Delete  last  record  in database:  Selecting
     this  option and pressing OK will delete  the
     last  record  in the database.   This  record
     will include both a punch in and a punch out.
     The date and time shown are the time that the
     project was punched out of.  Note that  since
     using   the   database  editor  automatically
     punches you out of the current project, there
     will  always be a in/out pair at the  end  of
     the database when this option is selected.
     
     Store  deleted  data: This  option  indicated
     that  the  data  which is  deleted  from  the
     database  will  be stored in  this  indicated
     file (which is the database filename, with  a
     .BAK extension).  Note that if this .BAK file
     already exists, the new data will be appended
     to   it.   Note  that  this  option  is   not
     available  when using the Delete last  record
     in database option.


Note  that selecting this function will cause  you
to be punched out of your current project.


Reports
-------

The  Reports  menu  contains  options  related  to
generating and viewing reports.  See the following
sections for details.


Selecting an Editor
-------------------

This menu option allows you to select an editor to
use  to  view your report files.  The  default  is
notepad.exe,  which is normally  in  your  Windows
directory.   If  you change this editor,  the  new
editor  must  support a filename  on  the  command
line, i.e. notepad.exe report.txt.

Hint: If you use CSV-format files (Comma Separated
Values),  then  a  spreadsheet such  as  Microsoft
Excel is a possible editor.


Selecting a Time Format
-----------------------

This  option allows you to select the format  used
when printing  time durations in the reports.  You
have   the   option  of  HH:MM:SS   format   (i.e.
03:20:00), or a decimal hours format (i.e. 3.33).

Note: Some spreadsheets do not correctly interpret
a  time  span in HH:MM:SS format which is  greater
than  24 hours.  These time spans may import as  a
string  field, rather than a time field.   If  you
have  this problem, you may wish to switch to  the
decimal format for time spans.


Creating a Report
-----------------

This  option  allows you to create  reports  which
show  your  time usage.  There are three different
report  types, detailed in the following sections.
Note  that the examples in the following  sections
were not created from the same database.

There  are two report formats: Formatted Text  and

Command Line
------------

The command line options for Account Manager are:

     ACCTMAN
     ACCTMAN -out
     ACCTMAN -in
     ACCTMAN project name
     
The  first  option runs Account Manager  normally.
The  -out  option will punch out of the  currently
active  project, if any.  The project name  option
will punch in to the named project.

The  -in  option  can  only be  used  if  you  are
currently not punched in.  It will punch you in to
the  last  project which was active.  For example,
if  project "my proj" was active, then you punched
out  of  it,  and  then  ran "ACCTMAN  -in",  then
Account Manager would punch you in to "my proj".

Note that punching in via the command line, either
with  the  project name option  or  with  the  -in
option, will not prompt for a comment even if  the
project is configured to prompt for comments.

Only  one  copy of Account Manager will run  at  a
time.  However, if Account Manager is running  and
you  try to run it again, the command line options
will  be  passed  to  the running  copy.   So,  if
Account Manager is running, running "ACCTMAN -out"
will   punch  you  out  of  the  current  project.
Similarly, "ACCTMAN my project" will punch you  in
to a project called 'my project'.

This  powerful  capability could be  used  with  a
program  scheduler  such  as  Clocker  (also  from
Winnovation)OTHERPRODUCTS.  This  would  give  you
the  capability  to automatically punch  out  from
12:00  to  1:00pm for lunch, for example.   If  at
12:00 you executed "ACCTMAN -out", and at 1:00 you
executed  "ACCTMAN -in", you would be punched  out
from  12:00 to 1:00, and then punched back  in  to
the  project you were previously working on.  This
feature  could also be used for regular  meetings,
etc.


DOS Interface
-------------

Since   many   people   have   to   exit   Windows
occasionally to run a program that will not run in
a  DOS  box, etc., Account Manager provides a  DOS
Interface  to  the  database.  This  interface  is
limited, in that you can only punch in, punch out,
or obtain the status of the database.

The DOS interface CANNOT be run from a Windows DOS
box.   It  is provided solely to be run completely
outside  of  Windows.  If you are inside  Windows,
you   must   use   the  Windows  Account   Manager
(ACCTMAN.EXE).

Command Line:

     DOSACCT [-db database] -status
     DOSACCT [-db database] -out
     DOSACCT [-db database] projectname
     DOSACCT [-db database] "project name"
     
The  DOS  interface  will  attempt  to  read  your
ACCTMAN.INI  file to get the name  of  the  active
database.   If  this  ACCTMAN.INI  file   is   not
accessible  (if  you are on a network  workstation
other  than your own, for example), then  you  can
specify  your database file with the  -db  option.
Use  of  this  option  is not recommended,  except
where it is absolutely necessary.

The  -status option will tell you which  (if  any)
project is currently active.  The -out option will
punch  you  out  of the currently active  project.
The  last  two options are for punching  in  to  a
project.  If the project name contains spaces, you
must enclose it in quotes as in the fourth example
above.

Note  that  it is not possible to enter a  comment
from the DOS command line interface.

Examples:

DOSACCT myproject

This   will   punch  in  to  the  project   called
"myproject", using the database file specified  in
the ACCTMAN.INI file.

DOSACCT -out

This  will  punch  out  of  the  currently  active
project   (if   any),  using  the  database   file
specified in the ACCTMAN.INI file.

DOSACCT -db time.amd myproject

This   will   punch  in  to  the  project   called
"myproject", using the database file TIME.AMD.


Miscellaneous Options/Features
------------------------------

Quick Access List
-----------------

The  Quick Access List is accessed by clicking  on
the  Account  Manager icon with  the  right  mouse
button.    This   brings  up  a   list   of   your
projects/accounts, with the currently  active  one
highlighted (if any).  From here, you can punch in
to or out of a project.

The  Quick  Access  List is especially  convenient
when   you   are   using  the   Icon   Always   On
TopICONALWAYSONTOP  option, since  the  icon  will
then always be visible.  The Quick Access List  is
then never more than one mouse click away.

To punch in to a project:

Select  the project you wish to punch in  to,  and
click  the  "In" button.  Alternatively,  you  can
double-click  the  project  name.   You   may   be
prompted for a comment at this point, depending on
how the project was configured.

To punch out of a project:

Click  the "Out" button.  Also, punching in  to  a
different  project  will  punch  you  out  of  the
current project.

To Exit the Quick Access List without changing the
active project:

Click the "Cancel" button or press ESC.

     
Get Status
----------

This  option,  available on the  File  menu,  will
display the file names of the current project list
and the current database.

     
Icon Always On Top
------------------

This  option  is available on the Account  Manager
System menu.  Enabling this option will cause  the
Account Manager icon to remain on top of all other
windows  on the desktop.  This makes it especially
convenient to use the Quick Access List.

     
3D Controls
-----------

To  use  3D  controls,  Account  Manager  requires
version  2.01  or  later  of  ctl3d.dll.   Account
Manager's distribution includes version 2.01,  and
should    work    correctly.     However,    other
applications may install an older version.  If you
get  a  warning message from Account Manager about
an  old  version, copy the ctl3d.dll from  Account
Manager's distribution disk to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory.   Also ensure that no other  copies  of
ctl3d.dll  are present on your disk  you  can  use
File Manager to find all instances of the file).

Note that you may have to close other applications
in  order  to  be able to copy ctl3d.dll  to  your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM    directory   if    these    other
applications  are  using  the  ctl3d.dll  that  is
currently there.

To Disable 3d Controls:

To  disable  the 3D controls, create a  [Settings]
section  in the ACCTMAN.INI file (which should  be
in  your  Windows directory), if there is not  one
already.  Add  the  following  line,  under   this
section header:

     Controls3D=NO

Note  that ctl3d.dll is still required for running
Account  Manager,  even if  the  3d  controls  are
disabled.  However, any version of ctl3d.dll  will
work in this case.
