macmikeman - I guess calling it a project is not the right word. Its direction will be more geared toward a basic concept of
1. Client calls for a bid
2. Put all the data into the form.
3. It will give the client a total in email / verbal.
4. Set a date of when to do the job.
5. Client can log into the job and request items changes (But does not over write the original bid.)
6. Assign employee to job if needed.
6. Do job
7. Close the job which send the client a invoice to email. Or close the job and Print a paper copy to mail invoice.

Also I hear you on cloud computing. Its not my cup of tea ether. I tried to minimize this by setting it up so its on a mirror backup and external nightly backup which to some is skeptical so I'm going to add a backup button that the user has access to 24/7. And the user can download there files to there hard drive anytime they want. It will backup the database file and export it to a excel file. I guess after writing this it is a form of cloud computing....


wcord - Yes I'm still working on getting that done. I'm added a permit box too because those always change on price (I think). A Discount box for good customers or just a fast way to get a bid down. I do like what your saying I will differently add a misc box or two for additional cost or subtraction of cost.

Thanks everyone for there Ideas this helps a lot to try and build this thing right. I am going to put a live version online shortly so anyone can go and see it without looking at those big pictures sorry about that...
Thanks!
