The guy I work for is clueless but we're at the point of starting to make so money so I'm trying to do his job right so I can make that money. So here are the questions: 1) Can CPS keep a running inventory? 2) Can it send quotes via email? 3) how are you entering the info for one drop of say cat5 for a network outlet or data?
I know there will be more!
Thanks
Marc

I don't use CPS but if the ability to send quotes via E-mail is not built in, you could always print the quote to an Adobe Acrobat file and E-mail it that way. To do that you would need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro.

The next version of MS Office will also save to pdf. I was not aware of CutePDF.
sms, personally I love pdf. It allows me to E-mail something in a universal format with the added benefit that it cannot be modified (assuming you don't want to send it in a modifiable format). Customer/architect etc. doesn't have AutoCAD, Visio, Excel etc.? No problem, just send it to them in a pdf file.

Office will still contain about 400,000 lines of code that will do nothing but bring an advanced user to a screeching halt, still save YOUR files in a proprietary format, and still cost between 330 and 500 US dollars retail.
Apologies in advance for the preach and yes, I know that the D-Tools folks out there are married to the MS products by association but there are other ways to conduct our business end of things without the cartopoly.
Did I just make up a word?

What is CPS? CPS is an SI business automation tool built on File maker Pro. Great system for estimating, work orders and basic CRM features specifically designed for our industry. They have a drawing tool but I have never used it myself. When I used CPS, the company I worked for did not have the drawing feature enabled. If you are using Excel, Word, QuickBooks or something like that mix then you would definitely benefit from a business automation tool like CPS. There are others that are pretty good as well.
