[AccessD] OT: Time billing software

I wrote (and am in the process of re-writing) a Gym membership
application that
Plays the cashreg.wav sound each time a "CASUAL" member signs in and
thus 'owes' the
GYM a usage fee - they love it. Even if they are serving other
customers, it alerts them
It also has visual warnings :-))

By the way - since I am re-writing this APP I will desperately need the 
list in the next few weeks...months...years <groan>

See ya

You can use CashReg.wav to get that sound!

I wrote a billing app.  Clients, projects, Categories of work, charges
for categories of work (on a per client basis), and time worked (child
to ClientProject).  I then have a form for selecting client projects
which has a tab for entering hours worked (start date / time, stop date
/ time, work category, description of work), and expenses.  I can "no
charge" work if I need to, and "no charge" work shows up in my reports
so that the client sees them.  I also have an expense table, child to
ClientProject, although I must admit I have relatively few expenses
since I don't travel a lot.

I tend to keep details of work down to either a day or a several hour
period.  It is nice though since I do a lot of work at home for many
different clients.  If a client calls (or I call a client) I can close
the current work period I am recording, select that client, build a
"phone call"
work record and record my phone calls, which can be a lot of time.  I
tend to keep my billing app open on my laptop the whole time I work.  I
then just switch to it and record a summary of what I did for the last
few hours, as I go through the day.  By the end of the day I have a
summary of hours worked, for what client, with start / stop times.

I have a report generation form which allows me to select a time period
(last month, last quarter, last year, current month etc) and generate
reports for progress and invoice.  The reports can be automatically
emailed to the client and stored (hard copy) as a snapshot in a
directory for each client.

I am writing off several of work because I did not have decent (any)
records of time on a project.
 
To my brother and sister soloists out there:
 
What do you use and how do you track time on a project. Does not have to
a real detail account of time.
 
I just need something
 
Thanks
