    hi robert,
    well, the moving functionality is already built in. on
    the "hours dateils" form tap into the right bottom corner
    of the form and a list of the other databases will appear.
    selecting one database of this list will move the item into
    the database.

    would you mind to un-obscure that feature? ;-)

    hi rob,

    did you read the manual? well, its documented there.
    however you're right, it is kind of tricky to find the
    feature ;) well, if you can tell me a good place for a
    button that fits into the form i think could do something.
    pete.

    read a manual? what manual? me? well, maybe on sunday
    afternoon ;-)

    some suggestions:

    plan a: on the records detail screen, replace the "delete"
    button with a "details" button, which in turn would diplay a
    form similar to the ones in the integrated apps (calendar,
    notes, todo) with a drop down list for all databases, a
    "delete" button and every other (future) record detail that
    the users don't need to access as frequent as the important
    fields of that record.

    plan b:
    tighten up the record detail screen by lifting the two
    hourly wage rates on one line side-by-side. this would give
    you additional space on the bottom to juggle with a database
    dropdown list and the "payed" checkbox.

    plan c: inter-db cut/copy/paste of records would be a
    conservative, lengthy, but "no hazzle" UI to that feature.

    plan d: to be continued, after having read the manual...

    but: i'd love to get that project auto timer feature. i
    wouldn't insist on THIS feature request to gain top priority ;-)

    sometimes it hurts but helps reading a manual ;)

    well, plan a and c seems to be a good solution. :)
    i'll keep this in you todo list.
    nevertheless i'm looking forward to hearing about plan d ;)

    the other thing with the timer ... currently i'm building
    another option on the creation of records. so the issue
    with the timer will need to wait currently. :(

    pete.

    My plan is to "unobscure" this feature.
