How to Register AUTOMILE


Quick Start

You will notice that a file  must be opened  to enter or list any information. Simply choose  File - Open  or  File - New  from the menu or the toolbar.

When starting a new "log", the New Vehicle Information dialog appears. Fill in the pertinent information and click OK.

This brings up the Log Sheet where all information concerning the log is contained. The log sheet is fairly self-explanatory. You cannot edit any  information on the logsheet. All information is automatically calculated and entered into the appropriate boxes.

Especially helpful are the Miles to Date, Business Miles, and Business Use Percentage boxes. At a glance, you can look at the totals for your log.

 You should always start a new log at the beginning of the year for your log to be as accurate as possible

To make an entry into the log , Press ENTER or click on the Log Entry button.

To delete the last entry, click on the Delete Last Entry button.  You may only delete the last entry into the log sheet. Choose New List Window  under  Window in the menu or click on the list button at the toolbar to see the list.

 That's all there is too it.

Log Entry

To make Log Entries, press ENTER while in the Log Sheet, or click on the Log Entry button. This brings up the Log Entry dialog. The date is automatically filled in for you. If you  need to change it, press Shift-Tab, Tab until the date field becomes active, or use the mouse to position the cursor in the date field.

You may enter the starting mileage and exit the dialog if you area starting a trip. When you enter the Log Entry dialog again, this entry will come up and allow you to enter the ending mileage. You must complete a trip by entering the ending mileage before you are allowed to make any more Log Entries.

The total mileage is automatically figured for you. You cannot make entries in this field.

The memo field is where you can put any information or reminders.  (NOTE)  This field is truncated to 30 characters in the List window and in List printouts.

After a trip is entered, the Log Sheet information is updated, and the trip is stored in the Log. To remove a trip, use the Delete Last Entry button in the Log Sheet.
