## 1. What is Timesheets Lite?

Timesheets MTS is a fully featured time and materials billing system for small companies. It includes employee expense reimbursement, and a fully featured activity and cost reporting system for project managmement and profitability analysis. Customisable, printable reports and invoices are included and the software is capable of dealing with international currencies and GST/VAT tax systems.

The software comprises a lightweight client and stores all information in an MS Access database that can be stored centrally on your network allowing for a distributed solution. You do not need MS Access to be able to run Timsheets MTS, but if you do have it you then have the ability to use Access to generate your own reports from the data file.

Timesheets MTS license is driven by the number of concurrent connections you need to the database. Thus you can buy a license for just 1 concurrent connection, and still install the software on as many PC's as you like. But ONLY 1 person can use the software at a time. This leads to a lower cost solution and makes licensing for your company easier to deal with as there is only one registration code for your entire company.

## 2. Installation

New Installation
Just click setup.exe and let things happen. Each installation includes a copy of the timesheets.mdb database file (which contains all the program information). If, however you want a centralised timesheets database on your network you will need to select the Tools->Options menu item in Timesheets MTS and locate the centralised timesheets.mdb file your company is using.

For more information on how to do this consult the Customising Timesheets MTS section of the main help file.

Upgrading Timesheets MTS
If you are a licensed user of Timesheets MTS then from time to time upgraded versions of Timesheets MTS will become available that add new features, or fix problems with the software. If you want to upgrade your installation to the new version you should follow the following steps:

1. Backup your Timesheets.mdb file just in case Something Bad happens, this file will be located somewhere on your network.
2. Backup your TimesheetsMTS.exe file just in case you want to back off to the old version. This file can be found in the directory you installed the software in.
3. Unzip the new TimesheetsMTS.exe file from the downloaded zip file and copy it to your installation directory, which is most likely c:\Program Files\TimesheetsLite
4. Run the software as normal
5. If for some reason you dont like the new version or something goes wrong just copy your backed up timesheets.mdb file and TimesheetsExe.exe file back and you'll be back on the older version
