Remote Entry Update
Remote Entry 2007 - New Version
Download (includes user manual) 2MB
January 8, 2008
This download is a new version of our Remote Entry Program (Remote Entry 2007).
It can be used both to create a new installation or to upgrade any earlier version of Remote. Completing the download requires a registration code which you must first obtain from customer support by calling (800) 228-6589. Please contact us for pricing information.
Downloading the Upgrade
To download the upgrade, click on the link above. Select the option to Open or Run the file, then wait for the download to complete, after which the Setup Wizard will begin. Click Next and make sure you specify the correct folder where you want to install Remote Entry.
If you are creating a new installation, the default folder name is C:\TT, but you can change that if necessary. If your computer is on a network, you should still install it on your local drive, although it is possible to install it on the server. Remember that if installing it on the server you must install a copy in a separate folder for each user.
If you are installing the program as an upgrade, you must specify the same drive and folder where your existing copy of Remote Entry is located. Otherwise, you will simply be installing a second blank copy of the program. If you do not know the folder name, start up your existing copy of Remote and click on Info on the main menu. The line that begins with the word “Directory” will indicate the current drive and directory. Copy that exactly into the Folder space in the SetupWizard.
Complete the installation by clicking Next three times, then click Install, then click Finish. You do not have to enter or change any information in those screens. After clicking Finish, the program will start up automatically.
If you are creating a new installation, the Configuration screen will appear first. You must specify whether you will be operating the program in local or remote mode. Select local mode if you have access to the main billing program over a network and can therefore access the main program directly to lookup your client and matter numbers and billing rates. If not, select remote mode.
If you are operating in local mode, you must then enter the drive and directory (folder) where the main program is located.
If operating in local mode, you must also specify the export method. In most cases you will want to export directly so when you export your entries they are merged immediately with the main program's unbilled charges file. However, you can also export your entries to a separate "holding" file, so that they can be reviewed and then merged with the main program later by the operator of the main program. To do this, select the Separate File option and then enter the drive and directory where you want the entries to be saved. If you leave the folder space blank or specify the same folder as the main billing program itself, the entries will be stored in the main program’s Batch WIP Entry file.
When filling in the Configuration screen, press the F1 function key for more information about each option.
System Requirements
Remote Entry is designed to operate on any computer running Windows 98 or higher (but preferably Windows XP or higher), including Windows Vista.
Program Help
Remote Entry 2007 includes an on-line User Manual accessed by clicking Help or by pressing the F1 function key. The manual is also provided in the form of a PDF file titled remote.pdf, which will be found in your Remote Entry folder after installation.
In some cases, Internet Explorer may not allow you to access the User Manual if you are operating on a local area network If that is the case, you can correct this by running the Run Helpfix function from the Tools menu.. If that does not resolve the problem, then you will have to refer to the pdf file.
New Features
Procedures for updating and exporting your Remote Entry data have been simplified and improved, and can now be performed using CDs.
When using Activity Codes as shorthand abbreviations in the text for your entries, it is no longer necessary to preceed them with a plus sign. Simply type the code, press the space bar, and the code will expand automatically. (You can disable this feature, so it works like in prior versions, by checking the Disable Auto Expansion box in the Data Entry Options screen in the main program.) Press Enter when you are finished typing the description; PG DN no longer works.

Remote Entry allows each member of your firm to maintain their own personal time sheet. A timer function can be used to automatically time and record your work, or you can input it manually if you prefer.
