text: PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING This Getting Started Document also acts as the User Guide which you will use for the unresticted version, the only real difference are details regarding the restrictions of the trial package. MileStone Startup Information. Basic requirements are that you have Microsoft Access 2000 or greater installed on the PC to be used for the MileStone database. Please do not be put off by the length of this document, While this document will initially appear very long, much of it is intended to help the "New Comers" to appreciate the standard Do's and Don'ts for operating a database. Prospective users who are comfortable with databases will be able to skim over the basics and focus on the form entry details. The basic data handling is straight forward and the manual will show you how to get the most out of the package, and how to edit incorrectly captured data. For those who are not too conversant with Access Database, don't be afraid to be adventurous. MileStone is fully menu driven, and probably more user friendly than Word and Excel; and does not require any elaborate database skills. Like any other database, word processor or spreadsheet, tread carefully and remember the golden rule that garbage in equals garbage out. Windows Vista vs. MicroSoft Access error dhtmled.ocx? Some versions of Windows Vista are missing files that are associated with MS Access data base. This is a noted error by Microsoft, and Microsoft have corrected the error by making a download freely available from their website to correct the problem. If you use Vista and get an error message that says there is a missing or broken reference to the file dhtmled.ocx when you try to open Access, go to the link provided and follow the download instructions. The download is very straight forward and corrects the problem immediately. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai... Macro Protection MileStone is written using macros as part of its internal workings, when opening MileStone, the macros are used to set up the package, Access, (like Excel and Word) will look for macros and take the prescribed action when a programme is found to contain them, this is standard practice. The required action is set individually by each installed version of Access. If you get a message saying that the database you are trying to open contains macros, and Access will not allow you to open the database, that means your macro security has been set to "High". This is not a problem, to allow macros, all you need to do is choose to set the security setting to medium or low. To do this, open MS Access, from the toolbar, select Tools > Macro > Security and click on either Medium or Low. By selecting Medium, every time you open a database with a macro, Access will prompt you to click enable or disable macros, you will then need to click "Allow macros" or "Open." If you select Low, the database will open immediately for any database that is opened from the copy of Access installed on your computer. Trial Version Limitations. The 21 day free trial version is only an "advertisement" of the full version, and although the same as the full version, the trial version is limited to: a maximum amount of 8 vehicles ( 4 sample cars supplied which you may delete from the table.) a maximum of 100 fuel entries and 45 repair entries. There are enough entries to evaluate the reports and convince you that they are simple to use, practical and most importantly, the management information available will provide you with an invaluable tool to monitor and control the massive costs incurred to maintain a fleet of vehicles. There are a few vehicles and records already in the tables to get you started, the dates vary between September 2010 and November 2010, and use vehicle registration AAA1234 if necessary, sample vehicles are in class 3 and 4. You may enter a few of your own vehicles to test the system within the trial limits. You may choose to open the Vehicle Details Listing Display form in the Fleet Vehicle Details option of the main menu for a list of all vehicles. Fuel entries and vehicle services must be entered in chronological order or error messages and service overdue warnings will appear because of either negative distance calculations or outstanding vehicle services have not been recorded. When purchasing the full version, you may back-date information historically from a starting period of your choice, but you will be required to start the database from scratch. The trial period data will not be imported into the full version. Use this trial version as an evaluation advert only. General database procedures. The Database is not caps sensitive, but I would advise you to be consistent with your use of capitals, reports with fields (columns) using upper case and lower case text inconsistently does not look smart when printed. Databases are "spacebar" sensitive, if you press the spacebar, a database will record a "space." For example, if you have a vehicle registration "ABC1234" a database will think you have two different vehicles if you type "ABC 1234" into a form registration box. If you run a report for vehicle "ABC1234" transactions attributed to "ABC 1234" will be excluded. Also, "B Brown" , "B. Brown" , "Brown B" and "Bill Brown" will be seen as four different people. Select a format to write names, cost codes and registrations and always be consistent. Do not get into the bad habit of using the spacebar as a type of delete key. Even if you can't see anything, the database can. When entering data through the data capture forms, calculations take place when certain boxes are exited and entered via the enter key. It is strongly recommended that the user gets into the habit of using the enter key to step through all the form's input boxes; and not to just click on boxes you want to use for entries. If you make a mistake on a form, you should click your mouse on the box concerned, re-enter the data correctly, and using the enter key, step through the boxes to get back to where you had got to when noticing the error. This way the "result" boxes will re-calculate as you proceed through the sequence. After entering the final entry on any form, pressing enter will set the entry; and the data entered will be written to the record table and the form will then be cleared ready for the next record. After the last entry of the batch is entered and the form is cleared, you will now need to click the exit button to close the form. If you click on the exit button with data still on the form, MileStone will assume you want to abort the process and not write any of the visible data to the record table. Dates When specifying the 10th April this year; 10/4 will suffice, ( unless your PC date settings th are mm/dd, in which case you will get the 4 Oct, in which case enter 4/10 ), provided that this current year is the year in question, the current year will be defaulted into the date. The standard format is dd/mmm/yyyy to avoid recognition problems between different PC format settings. If a required entry date or report date is not from this current year, then the year must be specified in the normal spreadsheet manner i.e. 10/4/2009. The basic rule is to just check the date that is displayed when typed into a box until you are comfortable with the way your PC deals with dates. This will work for data entries in forms and for dates that are required when opening reports. First things First 2 Save MileStone to a suitable directory on the required PC. Open Microsoft Access and then using File > Open; open the MileStone database from your selected directory, in the same manner you would use Word or Excel to open a document or spreadsheet for the first time. You may also set up a desktop shortcut in the usual manner. The first time you open MileStone, you will be asked to accept the standard terms and conditions of the package. The three options are quite self explanatory, the database will not open until the terms are accepted, standard procedure. After accepting the terms, you will be advised how many days the trial operating period is still open for. Using the MileStone database. The database has four working tables within the system where all data is stored. Vehicle Details. Fuel Usage Details. Vehicle Repair Details. Vehicle Expiry Dates. You may start loading your data base from "now" or "back-date" information historically from a recent starting point of your choice. PLEASE TAKE NOTE, the database works with captured data from the three tables in a chronological order. If you choose to start your data collection from existing data, you must be sure that ALL your fuel receipts per vehicle are captured in date order. If you enter a receipt that is dated earlier than an existing record already captured, you will need to edit the distance traveled and consumption of the next entry of that vehicle. Should you wish to start the MileStone trial from a back dated time, ensure that you have all required data available per vehicle and date sorted before commencing.

Exit From MileStone Driving Through The Forms Forms are pages used to capture data for storage in the three tables previously mentioned. Care should be taken when entering data into forms, the captured data is the foundation of all reports you generate. Incorrect data in will produce incorrect data out. The first main menu item selection, Data Entry Forms, will offer you a variety of forms to be used for in-puting data. Fuel Detail Entry Form. (Menu item 1.a. : Most frequently used form.) The fuel entry form is used for capturing fuel receipts. The system calculates mileage and consumption of fleet vehicles using the last known speedo reading, so the entries for any particular vehicle must be done in chronological order or negative date and mileage errors will be encountered. Date Standard Procedure Vehicle Registration Enter the vehicle's registration. As you type, MileStone will auto fill the registration, once the number is displayed, you may press enter to select. Or, select the registration from the drop down arrow. Should a non-fleet vehicle, 4 determined by the fact MileStone does not recognise the registration, draw company fuel, you will be prompted to make a choice: A) select "yes" if you wish to add that vehicle to the fleet. The vehicle details form will open, complete as normal. B) select "no" if you do not want to add the vehicle to the fleet, but still want to record the purchase or fuel issue. This is useful if rd you need to supply fuel for 3 parties working for you. It may be better to enter a company name rather than a driver's name. Speedo, distance and consumptions will be ignored. C) select "cancel" to go back to the registration entry for correction if a registration was incorrectly entered.. Make and Model These will be automatically entered Driver The driver's name in the vehicle detail table will be automatically entered. If a different driver is using the vehicle, this may be over written. Cost Code The Cost Code box will default to the Cost Code given to the vehicle in the Vehicle Details form and by-pass this box. If a vehicle is loaned to another cost centre for a given period of time, it is advisable to edit the vehicle details so the reports default to the loaned cost centre's account. If the loan is for short term only, click on the Cost Code box, instructions will appear, and over write the default and press enter to continue. Reference Enter an invoice, receipt, requisition or voucher number to identify and trace the transaction. Speedo Enter the speedo reading. This reading will be compared with the last speedo reading recorded. If the speedo reading is less than the last reading an, error message will appear. Either there is a typing error for the speedo reading, or the fuel entries are out of sequence, in which case you will need to edit previous fuel entries for this vehicle. If the speedo reading determines the distance traveled is more 750 Kms. an error message will appear asking you to accept or reject a high mileage. It may be quite acceptable if a long range tank is fitted, or drums are carried. Otherwise, check the speedo reading that has been entered. Litres Enter the litres of fuel supplied. When you enter the Litres entry box, MileStone will check the mileage for the last recorded minor or major service. Other repairs will be ignored. A comparison of the distance between services specified in the Vehicle Detail Entry form and the distance traveled since the last service will be made. An indicator will appear when the vehicle is within 500 kms of the next due service. Warnings will follow when the vehicle is overdue for service. Once the vehicle has missed two services, the warnings will no longer appear, MileStone will assume the vehicle repair form is not being utilised. Distance This is a default calculation from the speedo entry, and cannot be edited. Cost of Fuel There are two methods of operation to choose from. You can either enter the total cost of the fuel purchased, and MileStone will calculate the cost per litre. Or, you may skip over the "cost of fuel" entry leaving it blank, and enter the cost per litre price in the $/Litre box, MileStone will then calculate the total cost (in reverse.) Should you make an error, you will need to click on the litres entry, press enter, delete the displayed total fuel cost, press enter, then either delete or re-enter the litre price and press enter to continue. If you want to re-enter the total fuel price, then both fuel cost boxes must be cleared in the above process, and re-start the cost capture again by clicking the litres box and pressing enter to resume. Consumption This is a default calculation and cannot be edited. Fuel Station This box will auto fill from previously entered fuel points, new stations will need to be typed in full. This box should not be ignored as it provides information for reports that can be used to balance accounts for fuel purchased. Or, if fuel is 5 issued from your bulk tanks, this is useful to reconcile internal issues. It is advised that you are consistent with supplier names. For example, if you have your own bulk fuel supplies, do not use names like "Tanks" and "Drums" or "Own stock" as you will create three different suppliers to monitor. Standardise on one definition that will be consistent throughout the programme. If you have petrol and diesel stocks, make a particular reference to which source the fuel originates from. This will help reconciling later. I would suggest something like XDiesel and XPetrol to be used. If you have more than one petrol store, then use X1Petrol and X2Petrol and so on. If you leave the station blank, the comment box will need to have the enter key pressed twice, this is because MileStone is preparing to write "No Record" on your behalf. Comment Although optional, comments should be used, they are displayed in selected fuel reports for information purposes regarding fuel issues. These comments should be kept short and precise. I.e. "Midlands sales trip" or "Reserve fuel carried" or "Vehicle used by Sales." Repairs Detail Entry Form. (Menu item 1.b. : Less frequently used form.) The repairs detail entry form is used for recording expenses encountered by each vehicle by category. Registration Enter the vehicle's registration. As you type, MileStone will auto fill the registration, once the number is displayed, you may press enter to select, or select from the drop down arrow. If you enter a registration that is unknown, MileStone will ask you if you want to continue or correct the entry. You may record repairs for non fleet vehicles, but you will need to be creative with the speedo reading, this is not essential for non fleet vehicles, enter any number. Service Centre Type in the service centre's name, this will auto fill as per the registration if the service centre has been used previously. This must be completed as it is used for reports later. Reference Enter an invoice, receipt, requisition or voucher number to identify and trace the transaction. Date of Repair Standard procedure. Cost Standard procedure. Last Known Speedo / Code Two entries to be made on this line. The first box is the Speedo reading, the second box is for the Cost Code. Once the date and registration have been entered, MileStone will check the fuel records for the first speedo reading of the vehicle after the service date and enter that as a default reading. If you have the actual speedo reading for the date of repair, the default entry may be over written. The Cost Code box will default to the Cost Code given to the vehicle in the Vehicle Details form. If a vehicle is loaned to another cost centre for a given period of time, it is advisable to edit the vehicle details so the reports default to the loaned cost centre's account. If the loan is for short term only, click on the cost code box, instructions will appear, and over write the default. Attention Required Type a short note as to why the vehicle needed attention, i.e. Not starting. Repairs Group You will be required to select a category pertinent to the repairs carried out, if you wish to ignore this category feature, just select "others" for all repairs other than vehicle services. Vehicle services, either minor or major, must be checked, as there is a warning device on the fuel entry form to indicate when services are due. If a vehicle has repairs done and a service at the same time, you will need to check the service 6 button. If you want to separate the service from the repair, two repair entries will need to be made; either split the costs, or enter the service as a zero cost service. For "Expiry Dated" items, such as Licence, Insurance and Road Worthy Certificates, click the Admin option. When you press enter to select "Admin", the Admin Expiry form will open with date boxes for the respective options, more than one may be used, if a box is not to be filled – just leave it blank and press "Enter" to step through the list. Comment Type a short note as to what repairs were done, i.e. Starter motor rewind. I would not recommend ignoring this step as it is used in the history report which is very useful when continual problems occur in a specific vehicle over a protracted period of time. Admin Expiry Dates Entry Form. (Menu item 1.c. : Periodically used form.) Select the vehicle registration required from the drop down list, and press enter. The Admin Expiry form provides a series of date boxes for different categories, enter the expiry date into the respective box provided. More than one may be used, if a box is not to be filled – just leave it blank and press "Enter" to step through the list. Vehicle Details Entry Form. (Menu item 1.d. : The least frequently used form.) The first thing you need to do is enter the vehicle details with the Vehicle Details Entry Form, if details change over a period of time, you may use the vehicle details edit form to make alterations. PLEASE NOTE the primary vehicle identification marker is the vehicle's registration number, this is however only an alpha-numeric tag which is conveniently unique to every vehicle. There is a facility to record the vehicle's fleet number for those who use them, but the fleet number is only for reference and may not be duplicated. If your company uses fleet numbers as a vehicle's main form of ID, there is nothing to stop you using the fleet number as the vehicle's registration number and the vehicle's license plate number (registration) as the fleet number. The fleet number may not be left blank, if fleet numbers are not used by your company, then type a non duplicated reference here i.e. the driver's initials or the last few digits of the registration. Registration Straight forward, no duplicates allowed. Driver Be consistent with first and last names. Reports will display what you type. Make Straight forward. Model Straight forward. Year The year of manufacture stated in the log book. Mileage The vehicle's mileage at date of entry into the MileStone vehicle details. Cost Code The Cost Code is there for accounting purposes and acts as a sub group for reporting totals. The code may be text, numeric or alphanumeric. This can be an actual internal account group, or any grouping that is appropriate to your organisation, i.e. departmental, type of vehicle classification, sales / admin / services, regional offices etc. This code is attributed to a vehicle when the vehicle details are captured. Any transaction pertaining to any vehicle will be tagged with this code. For example, if a vehicle is loaned to another cost centre, you should edit the vehicle details so the new code is applied to the vehicle. Any fuel or repairs captured will read this code and apply it to the vehicle, when the vehicle is returned, the vehicle data should again be edited to replace the original 7 code. When a cost code report is run, the costs will be reported according to the expenses derived by each code. Fuel and repair records may be edited to apply correct codes for any given entry that may have been entered after a code had been changed. Include in Vehicle Age Detail Listings This is a check box and is defaulted as "checked". After entering the Cost Code, press enter and the text portion, of the check box will highlight. Should you wish to un-check the box; either press spacebar to check / uncheck the box or click it with your mouse. Further instructions will be given when changed. The Fleet Vehicle Age Detail Reports will exclude vehicles that are unchecked. If you have a generator for example, that you want to control fuel usage, you may want to exclude it from the age reports. Fleet Number This is for reference only and may not be duplicated. See above. Service Distance Enter the number of kilometres to be driven by this vehicle between scheduled services. Each vehicle is independent from the rest of the fleet, and each vehicle may be serviced at different intervals if required. The default distance is 5000 kms, this may be overwritten. When entering fuel usage details on the Fuel Entry Form, MileStone will prompt you when maintenance services are due, or have become overdue. If you do not want to use this feature for a particular vehicle, enter a zero here. Vehicle Class The Class of vehicle is a numeric entry, i.e. 1 , 2 , 3 etc. This is not necessarily the licensing perception that passenger cars are class 4, but may be used as such if desired. The top ten reports will ask for a vehicle class number, this is to provide a degree of equality between various groups of vehicles. It is not appropriate to compare fuel used by an earth moving machine with the local delivery van; or the mileage of an inter city sales rep and a driver who only travels from home to work. You may opt for a set up like heavy trucks are class 1, pick ups class 2, long distance passenger cars Class 3. Or even use the class for geographic locations, or different vehicles from companies within a group. If you have no need for this facility, allow the form to default all vehicles to class 4. Exit Button After the Vehicle Class is entered, the form will clear. Either another vehicle may be entered, or click the button to close the form Last Fuel Purchase Entry. (Menu item 1.d.) This is a report styled page. If you click this menu option, MileStone will prepare a list of all vehicles showing the date and speedo each vehicle last recorded a fuel receipt. This should be used when you are unsure of the last fuel docket recorded when wanting to capture new data. If a detailed list of all transactions is required, use the Single Vehicle Fuel Purchase Report in the Vehicle fuel Usage Reports menu item. Finding Your way with Reports. Reports are documents that will be displayed on screen; or using the icons on the toolbar, may be printed, exported to MS Word or Notepad, or sent as an e-mail attachment. They will display requested information pertaining to the report title within a specific date range. There are five basic report groups ; 1. Fuel 2. Repairs 3. Exception Reports 8 4. Suppliers 5. Admin Fuel Usage Reports. The fuel usage reports will provide detailed reporting on cost of fuel, litres of fuel used and consumptions achieved. These factors can be related to the fleet, cost codes or individual vehicles on a monthly sub totaled basis. Vehicle Repair Reports. The vehicle repair reports will provide detailed reporting on vehicle maintenance work and costs. These factors can be related to the fleet, cost codes or individual vehicles on a monthly sub totaled basis. The Fleet Maintenance Service Status report will only be "triggered" once a particular vehicle has had a minor or major service recorded, thus giving MileStone a starting date to work from. Top Ten Exception Reports. The Top Ten reports will offer a variety of reports used for Managing by Exception and establishing the vehicles and drivers who fall into the category of being in the top ten of various forms of usage. These cover items such as Litres used, kilometers driven, cost per kilometer driven, repairs and consumptions etc. The class number assigned to the vehicle details is used as a grouping mechanism in these reports and the report will ask you which class to report on. Supplier Reports. Supplier reports are intended to allow the programme user to get a quick print out of purchases that have been captured to assist with internal reconciliation of accounts and control of bulk fuel supplies. These reports read back to the supplier specified in the fuel and repair forms. All the reports work in the same manner. When you click the menu item you will be asked to provide the range of criteria you want reported. I.e. Dates, vehicle registration, supplier etc. Once you have enough captured data, go through all the reports to decide which will cater for your needs. You will not be able to self edit the reports, they are pre-defined in a set format. If you require specific reports other than those included, special arrangements will need to be made, the software re-writes will obviously be for your account. Admin Reports. Admin reports will show fleet detail listings, vehicle ages by groups, license expiry dates etc. PLEASE NOTE. Dates. Most reports will ask for a start date and last date before generating your report. The report will select all records within and including the specified dates, and that will be the total reported for the month. If you were to select the 10th April to 20th May; records from the 1st April to 9th April will not be included in April's total and the same result will happen for May for any records from the 21st onwards. There are reports which ask you to specify the month and year, but the window will ask for the month in a three letter format, i.e. Jun, Jul, Aug etc. These reports will provide details of all transactions recorded for the entire calendar month. 9 Fuel Consumption Reports. When looking at vehicle fuel consumptions in the report formats, please bear in mind the MileStone sums the distances traveled for all fuel receipts found between dates specified; divided by the fuel taken. This is standard practice, but really only has a true bearing when the vehicle is always filled to "full tank," but over a period of time will average out. For example, consider a vehicle has a 60 Lt. tank and is filled, it is then driven to almost empty after traveling 560 Km. When next fuelled, only 20 Lts. are used, MileStone is forced to divide 560 by 20 to compute a consumption of 28 Kms. / Lt. If the vehicle was then to be driven 100 Km. and then re-filled with 46 Lts. the consumption would drop to 2.2 Kms./Lt. If the fuel purchases are in the same month, the monthly reports will gross up the Kms. traveled and divide by the sum of fuel used to provide a better "average" of fuel consumption during the selected period i.e. 660 Kms. divided by 66 Lts. showing a consumption of 10 Kms. / Lt. Non Fleet Vehicles. Both fuel usage reports and repair history reports offer various reports covering a specified period of time for a specific vehicle, group code or the entire fleet and non-fleet vehicles which have acquired company fuel. Because the database will accept "non-fleet" vehicle entries where vehicles not belonging to the company have received fuel or repairs on the company expense for whatever reason, but being non-fleet vehicles, their usage will be more "acknowledged" than reported. Fleet Vehicle Details. Vehicle Details Listing Display The vehicle details listing display will give you a list of all fleet vehicles and their respective details that have been stored in the vehicles table. Vehicle Average Age Displays There are two vehicle average age displays. The first is by Vehicle Class, and the second is by Cost Code. Both reports work in the same way, they will provide you with the current age and last known speedo reading of each vehicle in its respective Class or Code. The group is then grossed up to provide the average for the group as a whole and the entire fleet. Expiry Dates : All by Registration This report will display all the current expiry dates of all vehicles that have had expiry dates entered. This list is useful for a fleet overview of when licences and insurance are due to expire. Expiry Dates : Expire before when This report will prompt you for a date and will display all vehicles and their expiry dates that will fall th due BEFORE the nominated date. If for example a vehicle's insurance expires on the 30 th September 2009, and you enter the nominated date as 30 September 2009, this date will not be th displayed as it has not expired as of the 30 September 2009. In this instance, to check for all th expiry dates up to and including the 30 September 2009, you will need to go to the next day, and st enter the 1 October 2009. MileStone is looking for all entries that will be expired on the nominated date. View Terms of Acceptance. This will display the conditions displayed when the package was first opened, under which the package was agreed to be purchased. 10 Data Editing Forms. The Data Edit forms allow you to correct previous entries made into the data tables for vehicle, fuel and repair records. Fuel Entry Edit Form. On opening, the form will ask for the registration number of the vehicle for the record to be looked for. Enter the required vehicle registration, or select from the drop arrow, press enter. A new box will appear, click the down arrow and scroll through the window to view the dates of records pertaining to the selected registration. Select and Click on the date of the record to be edited. The drop down window will disappear, press enter, this will take you into a "Sub Form" which will display all the details about that entry, you may edit them as needed. This process needs some consideration, if you are editing a fuel entry because you incorrectly captured the speedo reading, you will also need to recalculate and edit the distance traveled and the consumption. This will also need the next record to be edited, because those calculations would have been based on a now incorrect starting entry. There after, the records should be alright. This is a three part operation, ( 1. select registration, 2. select which date, 3. edit details) if you decide to abort the operation, you will need to click the exit button once for each stage omitted. This just means you may need to click the exit button up to three times to get out of the form. If the record is entirely incorrect, you may click on the "Delete This Fuel Record" button. Warning messages will appear, you may cancel the operation when prompted, otherwise, the deletion is not undoable. You must now edit the next record to counteract this deletion. Repair Details Edit Form. On opening, the form will ask for the registration number of the vehicle for the record to be looked for. Enter the required vehicle registration, or select from the drop arrow, press enter. A new box will appear, click the down arrow and scroll through the window to view the dates of records pertaining to the selected registration. Select and Click on the date of the record to be edited. The drop down window will disappear, press enter, this will take you into a "Sub Form" which will display all the details about that entry, you may edit them as needed. As with the fuel edit form, step through the records and edit as required. The repair groups are no longer on a button system, you must type the appropriate repair group number in the box provided. This is also a three part operation, ( 1. select registration, 2. select which date, 3. edit details) if you decide to abort the operation, you will need to click the exit button once for each stage omitted. You may need to click the exit button up to three times to get out of the form. If the record is entirely incorrect, you may click on the "Delete This Service Record" button. Warning messages will appear, you may cancel the operation when prompted, otherwise, the deletion is not undoable. Vehicle Detail Edit Form. On opening, the form will ask for the registration number of the vehicle for the record to be looked for. Enter the required vehicle registration, or select from the drop arrow, press enter. A "Sub Form" will be displayed showing all the details about the selected vehicle, you may edit them as needed. By pressing enter, you will step through each detail, when you reach "Include in Vehicle Average Age Listings" if you wish to check or un-check this box, press spacebar or click on the check box. 11 If the vehicle is no longer in the fleet, you may click the "Delete this Vehicle From the Fleet" button. You will be asked if you are sure that you want to delete the record. I would not recommend deleting the vehicle from the vehicle table until you have reached your fleet capacity. If a vehicle is sold, change the cost code to "sold" and uncheck the Display Average Age Listings box. Deleting a vehicle will not remove the fuel and repair records, but some reports do refer to the vehicle details table. Once the MileStone will not accept a new vehicle because the fleet is full, then remove a vehicle on a "first sold – first removed" basis. Date Expiry Edit Form As with the above examples, select a vehicle, select the entry, and edit the required dates. PERMANENTLY DELETE Old Records Delete Fuel and Repair Records. If you are not conversant with MS Access, please tread carefully here, actions in this section cannot be NOT UNDONE. These menu items will allow you to select large blocks of records from either of the two data tables. Choose and click the table you wish to downsize. You will be asked to specify a date up to which you want to view records. The records displayed will be the records from the start of the table up to the specified date, (i.e. older than the specified date). Select the table rows by left clicking the grey vertical bar on the left side of the table (where the row number would be in spreadsheet terms) and then either dragging down the left side of the table with the left mouse button held down : or, click the grey bar on the desired row and "shift + pagedown / down-arrow" to select entire ranges of data for deletion. Once the desired rows are selected, press delete. This operation is NOT reversible. To close the table, click the "X" close window icon in the top right hand corner, in the usual "close window" manner. In this mode it is also possible to directly edit data tables if you are reasonably fluent with database procedures. This will be needed from time to time to keep the data base in a manageable size. The "manageable size" will vary from one computer to another, for most users this may be only required every couple of years. The inherent problem with databases is that they continually grow with all the captured information they receive. There will eventually come a time when they "Slow down," at this point copy and save the database with a new name, I would suggest you keep it in the same directory, but incorporate a year into it's name, also – save a copy to your backup directories on PC or CD. Once you have two copies, open the current working file and strip out old data that you no longer report on. Delete Vehicle Detail Record The procedure is almost the same as deleting fuel and repair records described above. The only real difference is on opening the delete vehicle form, you will be asked for the vehicle registration of the vehicle to be deleted. After entering this, the vehicle record row will be displayed. This row may then be deleted in by left clicking the grey bar to highlight the row, and then pressing the delete key. To close the window, click the "X" close window icon. MileStone Maintenance and Servicing. All Databases need a bit of routine maintenance periodically, if you notice that the database is starting to slow down a bit, this is quite normal as tables are always being written and re-written within the system, they will need to be de-fragmented. Just as you are required to do for your Windows operating system occasionally. In databasing, this is called "Compacting" and would normally be done from the "Tools" tab on the main menu bar, but the protected MileStone does not give you this option from an opened file. 12 This can be done manually from time to time by clicking the "Compact and Repair" icon on the MileStone toolbar. It is normal for Access to close the database before compacting, then compact the closed data base, then automatically re-open it. The alternate option is to compact a closed database. Open MS Access but do not open a database. From the "Tools" tab you will need to select Compact from the "Utilities" menu item and compact the MileStone database without opening it. The procedure does vary between different versions of Access, you may need to click the "Help" tab and read the help file pertaining to "Compacting databases" and focus on compacting closed databases. When done you will notice the size of the database reduce in kilobyte terms, this is to be expected.

South Africa posted a trade surplus for a second consecutive month in December as factories shut for the year-end holidays, reducing demand for imports.
The trade surplus swelled to 2.8 billion rand ($247 million) in December compared with 770 million rand in November, the Pretoria-based South African Revenue Service said in an e-mailed statement today. The median estimate of nine economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for a surplus of 3 billion rand.
"A trade surplus is traditionally recorded in the month of December," Kamilla Kaplan, an economist at Investec Ltd. in Johannesburg, said in an e-mailed note to clients before the data was released. "Export growth is yet to reflect the enhanced competitiveness stemming from the weaker rand."
For 2013 as a whole, the trade deficit more than doubled to 69.9 billion rand from the previous year, adding to pressure on the current-account deficit, which the government estimates widened to 6.5 percent of gross domestic product last year from 6.3 percent.
South Africa relies mainly on foreign investment in stocks and bonds to help finance the shortfall on the current account, inflows that have fluctuated since last year as investors' risk perception toward emerging markets increased. The rand has plunged 25 percent against the dollar since the start of last year, the worst performer among 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
Exports decreased 10.3 percent to 77.6 billion rand in December, held back by a 20.8 percent drop in vehicle exports and shipments of precious metals and stones, which declined by 24 percent, the revenue service said.
Imports dropped by 12.8 percent to 74.8 billion rand as machinery purchases declined by 20.2 percent and mineral products, which include oil, increased 5.4 percent.
The monthly trade figures are often volatile, reflecting the timing of shipments of commodities such as oil and diamonds.

The student survey report from Tuscaloosa Neighbors Together represents public opinion as well as or better than the opinions that the council hears from citizens who call or email them personally. The scientific data from the Tuscaloosa Housing Needs Analysis, which indicates that we need very little additional student housing, is being ignored.
— Tuscaloosa
I am appalled by (Superintendent Paul) McKendrick's comments in the papers that the city schools might add teacher-only workdays to the calendar to equal 180 workdays. I want my children to have 180 days of learning. Although changing the school calendar at this point presents a challenge, I am concerned that the city school board and superintendent are short-changing our children by trying to subvert the law that requires 180 days of school. Many parents are willing to see fewer vacation days during the year in order to have adequate time in the classroom.

Salton, Inc. announced fiscal results for its third quarter ended April 1, 2006, reporting net sales of U.S. $127.7 million for its fiscal 2006 third quarter compared to net sales of $153.2 million for the fiscal 2005 third quarter. Net sales decreased domestically by $23.0 million. This decrease includes $5.7 million of tabletop product sales, as a result of the sale of the tabletop business in September 2005 and approximately $2 million of discontinued personal care product lines. Despite weak consumer demand in the United Kingdom, foreign sales increased by $1.2 million, which was offset by $3.7 million in unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.
The company's pre-tax loss from continuing operations improved by $13.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the same period last year. Salton reported a net loss of $19.1 million, or $1.40 per share in the quarter, compared to a net loss of $22.5 million, or $1.98 million per share for the same period in fiscal 2005.
For the 9 months ended April 1, 2006, Salton reported net sales of $506.5 million, compared to $630.5 million for the first 9 months of fiscal 2005. Net sales decreased domestically by $94.5 million. This decrease includes $11.8 million of tabletop product sales as a result of the sale of the tabletop business in September 2005 and approximately $5.3 million of discontinued personal care lines. Foreign sales declined by $29.6 million and were impacted by weak consumer demand in the housewares sector in the United Kingdom and $8.8 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.

Here are a couple of reality checks for owners and managers of professional services firms operating in today's hyper-connected marketplace.
One, prospective clients are increasingly checking out you and your people online before committing to doing business with you (indeed, before they even put a call in to your office!).
If social media (indeed, the web generally) has done one thing, it has turned us into expert 'hunters and gatherers' of information. We're out there doing our homework, checking you out online, asking questions of our social networks and forming our opinions as to whether or not we should put you on our 'to-contact' shortlist.
QUESTION: If we visited your website and social channels, what would we find? Would it add value to our decision-making process, or give us confidence your firm knew what it was talking about?
Secondly, the explosion of digital channels in recent years has brought with it a heck of a lot of noise. Your existing and potential clients are bombarded professionally and personally from every angle, not just from brands but also friends, family and their extended networks across multiple social channels.
Needless to say, many of the traditional communication methods (usually used to broadcast one-way promotional messages, I might add) are increasingly being filtered out by the intended target, rendering them way less effective than, say, five years ago.
QUESTION: Is your firm cutting through the noise with its communications and resonating with potential clients?
All this suggests that professional services firms need to fundamentally reconsider the way they communicate with the marketplace. And by reconsider, I mean think seriously undertaking a thought leadership-based content marketing program as a way to increase visibility, grow influence and build brand authority.

Joose kicks off producer FreshNerd's The DJBooth debut with, "I had a dream like Martin Luther King that I had no need for the paper / because I had at all, blew it all, watch me throwing it off one of the highest sky scrapers." In the first single from his currently untitled EP, due out early 2012, the UK beatmaker delivers solid production and arrangement with new release Real Talk. Emcee Joose, from Tampa by way of Michigan, handles the vocals at the beginning of the track he co-produced, including the hook. And after a dope piano solo by Bruce "Sigala" Fielder, NYC by way of Milwaukee female emcee Signif delivers up the powerful closing verse. The result is nothing short of….wait for it…real talk.

No biggie: EMC's XtremIO firmware upgrade 'will wipe data'
Re: this isn't disruptive
I have to say in my old days, I loved the simplicity of upgrading on NetApp systems.
Take the cluster. Failover first head. Upgrade first head. Failover 2nd to first, upgrade 2nd, bring second back in. All worked nicely with no downtime. Just as it should be!
Even migrating to a new NetApp system was pretty seamless for the users, as NetApp helped us set up both clusters, mirror, keep mirroring until all was perfectly in sync, about 5 minutes (if that) downtime to physically change the heads, all done.
Not to say there were not other issues with NetApp systems, especially with a particular restore which would have take 2 weeks due to an undocumented "feature", mind you, but that's a whole different story!
Assange™: Hey world, I'M STILL HERE, ignore that Snowden guy
Re: Well my cousin will be happy
"if they did, they would have to explain the footage from their bodycam to their superiors, or face some very tricky questions about why it was turned off."
Let's ask the family of Ian Tomlinson, murdered by a member of the Police for the crime of Walking Home. What did the Police do? They lied. Repeatedly. Until independent footage proved that what eyewitnesses said had happened. Whereupon they decided not to press charges agains the Policeman who had attacked Tomlinson.
Or what about Jean Charles de Menezes, executed (yes, EXECUTED) by the Police for "Lookin' a bit foreign".
What did our valiant Police force do? They lied. And lied. And lied. They closed ranks. They decided that nothing wrong had happened, and decided not to press charges against any of the multiple officers who had held him down before pumping SEVEN bullets into his head at close range (out of 11 bullets fired over 30 seconds).
They claimed he had leaped over the ticket barrier when they'd shouted for him to stop - even though it was proven he'd used his Oyster card and walked through the ticket barrier and the police hadn't shouted for him to stop. They claimed it looked as though his heavy overcoat was hiding a bomb, even though he wasn't wearing such an overcoat. They lied and lied and closed ranks and lied more.

"We're just taking photos, nothing else"
"No, we are absolutely not sniffing WiFi networks"
"OK, we are sniffing them, but we are absolutely not storing the data, trust us, we are not evil"

Google? Open about what they do?
That'll be the day.
Premier League wants to PURGE ALL FOOTIE GIFs from social media
Interesting to compare this with what REAL artists are doing...
Queen are currently on tour with Adam Lambert as their singer.
Fans are recording and posting videos, ranging from chart clips, to full song, to the entire concert.
Others then started collecting these videos and editing them into good quality multi-camera videos of entire concerts and posting them freely on YouTube etc.
Queen's response? Brian May (lead guitarist and part time vocalist) posts links to them via his Twitter account, his Facebook account and his own website!
At one point the record company stepped in and asked YouTube to remove them. May found out, and his response was to tell the record company to stop it.
THERE lies the difference between genuine talent performing for the fans, and football which holds the fans in contempt and views them merely as a cash cow.
Ex-Apple man Sam Sung - for it is he - sticks namebadge on eBay
Re: Why did Jasper
Well what else did we expect from Jasper, never one to knowingly give up the opportunity to sneer at the efforts of others who are actually doing something constructive.
Then again, the article was written by someone who can't even get the basic facts right, failing in the very second sentence - "But don't feel too bad for Sam Sung of Vancouver, Canada, because he's set to make a small fortune simply by selling his Apple name badge." It's not until much further down that our valiant hack actually grudgingly concedes that Mr Sung will not make anything from the sale, as he is donating all the proceeds to charity.
Journalistic integrity - would be nice occasionally...
ONE EMAIL costs mining company $300 MEEELION
Re: Accomplices
"He received the level of punishment he did because he did not try to profit from his activities."
Of course he made a profit from it!
He is not stupid. He knew exactly what he was doing. He knew exactly the effect his deliberate deceit would cause. And he knew that if he placed a short order in his own name it would be spotted...
"And I'll repeat, a suspended sentence is still a jail sentence, with real consequences for people"
You can repeat it as much as you like, it's still not true.
How much jail time does he serve? Oh yes, that's right - NONE.
Re: Accomplices
"And I'm amused how "scot-free" equates to $1000 and 20 months suspended prison sentence."
The only actual punishment he got was a paltry 1,000 fine.
Prison time served? Zero. Absolutely none.
A suspended sentence is utterly meaningless in respect of his conviction. It's simply saying "If you break this law in this way again we'll punish you", nothing more.
So yeah, receiving nothing more than a paltry 1,000 fine (out of a possible maximum of 1 million) and zero prison time (out of a possible maximum of 10 years) is getting off scot-free.
"If the above genuinely is negligible, presumably all those complaining about his actions won't mind accepting similar non existent punishment?"
If I ever broke that law, I'd happily accept the same level of non existent punishment as he got, absolutely! Heck, with a little bit of carefully concealed shorting on the stock, I'd (and he'd) make WAY more than that in profit easily.
Re: Ball Ox
"Whatever you think of his actions, he didn't get off lightly."
Lightly is EXACTLY how he got off!
A slap on the wrist and told "Now don't do it again" is what he got.
Re: Accomplices
"Shame they got off scot-free.
I am, of course, referring to the "news outlets" who didn't bother to verify the email, and just blindly publish it."
And what about the ones who DID verify it first, by calling the number and being lied to by this scumbag and his accomplice? Do you want them punished too, while this scumbag is pretty much let off scot-free (a paltry 1,000 fine and that's it)?
Just curious!
Seventh-gen SPARC silicon will accelerate Oracle databases
Re: Are these the SPARC or the T processors
It'll be the SPARC M series (the M7), not the T series, given this is for high-end stuff. Not that this rules out announcing the T6 as well, but from the description they are absolutely talking about the M7 here.
Re: Can anyone explain? I'm genuinely curious.
Depends upon what your task is.
Fast-as-possible single threaded performance, or a small handful of simultaneous threads?
Yup, x86 will do you right there no questions.
High performance very highly threaded simultaneous applications?
How does a box capable of scaling from 1 thread to 2048 threads, and up to 32TB (yes TB) of RAM, all viewed by the software as a single system without having to recompile for different numbers of threads grab you?
Guess which one high-end large databases will run better on...
And that's with the current SPARC technology, who knows what SPARC 7 will offer.
It all depends upon your tasks.

Internet of Things fridges? Pfft. So how does my milk carton know when it's empty?
Re: The internet of fridges
"""if the door is shut, the little light is out,"
But is it?"
Yes it is, by inference, as you will find a lever at the top of the fridge which can be operated manually instead of by the door to switch off the light."
Yes, but when the door is closed, how do you KNOW that lever has actually switched the light off?
All you know is that with the door open, move the lever and the light goes out. When the door is open.
When the door is CLOSED, however, you are in a different scenario, with no way to observe, and all bets are off.
Oh, and don't for one second suggest one could add a camera to observe the inside of the fridge, for then one has changed the conditions again and entered a third scenario...

Don't get the need for voice recognition?
Cool, then don't use it.
Simple :)
Me? I'm writing this entire post, and submitting it (having read the article and comments), all via voice control / voice recognition. Did I NEED to? No. Then again, I don't NEED to read or reply either. That I did, is made easier using voice control / voice recognition. Easier, more convenient, and as you can wee with this uncorrected post, it seems to pretty much work.
Police at the door? Hit the PANIC button to erase your RAM
"Surely you would then have grounds to argue that they would need to prove that there is a hidden volume, since it is also capable of NOT making such a thing?"
Nope, you would have to prove you did not create it, after all they would simply cite that they have "reasonable grounds" to believe you did. Ball is in your court. Can't prove you didn't create it? Oh dear sonny...
Re: RIPA2000
"What do UKIP say?"
Given UKIP do things like getting the Police to pop round for a quiet "chat" to ask you to remove posts from Twitter which they don't like (but which fall foul of no law), I rather suspect you will be out of luck if you think they would even consider repealing anything like RIPA.

Mozilla agrees to add DRM support to Firefox – under protest
Re: @Keith While people moan about "Net Neutrality"...
Stephen - there is a very simple answer.
If you do not agree to the terms of the offer being made by the content creators, then simply don't pay for it and watch it.
Problem solved.
Nobody is "taking control" of your computer (gotta love the hyperbola in that straw man point!).
"The way an honest free market works is" And therein lies the problem. As the high rates of content theft demonstrate in this entitlement-driven society, we are not IN an "honest free market", sadly.
We collectively reap what we collectively sow.
Re: While people moan about "Net Neutrality"...
"...their freedom is torn from them piece by precious piece."
And which particular freedom does this remove?
The freedom to watch other people's work without paying them for it?
No, that's not a freedom. If you don't like the terms, don't watch. Simple as that. The content creators don't "owe" you the right to watch their content for free.

Amazon accused of knocking off AWS customers' products
Something doesn't stack up here
They claim Amazon launched the same product 2 WEEKS after they did and tgus Amazon ripped them off.
Honey, if it only takes 2 weeks from seeing your product to spec, develop, test and release a copy, then your product ain't all that much, especially as it won't have taken you more than a couple of weeks yourself.
Sounds more like unfortunate coincidence than industrial espionage.
25% of Groupon share value WIPED OUT after rates slashed
That's all well and good IF price is the ONLY factor.
Which, usually, it isn't.
Suppose Dave62 runs the best restaurant in the area with the best food ever, at the most reasonable prices.
That means nothing if people don't know about you.
You can halve your prices, won't get you any more customers if nobody knows about you.
So you advertise via a Groupin offer which naturally sells out.
Suddenly your restaurant is full for a month. Yeah, you make less than full price per table, but that is way more than you made on that same yet empty table the month before.
Wil most Grouponites return?
Probably not.
BUT for that month your place was busy, packed. And news like that travels it must have been packed for a reason. If everyone else is going, perhaps "I" ought to go.
Which I do.
And discover a bloody good restaurant which I frequent and introduce friends to.
Now you have more customers, regulars, than you did before.
Is that not worthwhile?
And as for paying lots to Groupin and people not paying £40 for a meal they got for £20 last time?
Piss easy one!
Your Groupon meal is not a normal menu option, it's a limited Groupon special. At a special price.
They notice when glancing at the menu that there are some bargains.
And the food was great, so maybe next time they are in the area...
Sure, not every Grouponite becomes a customer. Nobody is claiming they do.
However, when run properly by someone who knows what they are doing, a Groupon offe can be a very effective marketing tool.
When run properly. Therein lies the rub...
Boffins FREEZE PHONES to crack Android on-device crypto
Re: capacitor-based overwrite
And good luck fitting 2 or more of THOSE into your slim smartphone...
Re: capacitor-based overwrite
What size of capacitor do you think would be required?
Let's take a typical mobile phone.
Battery supplies 3.5V.
Phone draws (very roughly) 0.125A
If you want to keep the phone alive for 2 seconds to allow an orderly shutdown (which, for some phones, is WAY too short a time - try it!) then the size of capacitor you need is
Capacitor = (0.125 * 2) / 3.5
(It's actually way more than that because after 2 seconds the capacitor would be empty, but let's go with this figure for now).
So, that's a 71mF capacitor (or a 71,000uF capacitor, given the a re usually specified in uF or pF).
You might get away with 2 x 47,000uF capacitors in parallel.
And you want to fit that inside your mobile phone?
Good luck cramming those 2 capacitors, each 3cm in diameter and 5cm in length, into your tiny phone, John!

Hacker sentenced to six years – WITH NO INTERNET
Good, serves him right and the sentence seems to be a pretty good fit.
So here we have a thug who abused the internet to carry out various crimes including fraud and making bomb threats (funny how those leaping to his defence on here wilfully ignore THOSE delightful areas of his crime portfolio, I wonder why?), and rather than just throw him in jail (where he will learn how to become an even "better" criminal at taxpayer expense) his punishment is to remove access to the very thing he abused in order to commit his crimes.
Sounds like a very well thought out punishment, actually. Perfectly sensible one, fits the crime, and is most definitely proportionate.
And those rushing to whinge that his hoomin rights have been abused by cutting him off from the internet would do well to actually READ the article wherein they will find he IS allowed internet access, under supervision with prior approval. So no, it won't stop him accessing legitimate sites to further his education.
We could do with seening MORE of this sort of creative appropriate punishment handed out by the courts, quite frankly.

Already, thanks to the previous government's RIPA, all they need to do is demand you hand over all of your encryption keys then they can decrypt everything you send.
What's that? You have lost your keys or don't have them? Sorry, not good enough, off to jail with you.
Oh, and do not, under any circumstances, tell ANYONE that you have had to hand over your keys, or you will be off to jail - guess what the implication is if you issue new keys? Yup, hand them over then go off to jail for letting people know you'd handed over your previous keys which is obviously why you changed them.
They have had this power for 12 years now, you seriously think they will not continue to abuse it?!
