Goodie Number 1: Smart21.Exe
This free program updates Tally-Up! records from an ASCII
(text) file. The import file is usually generated by the
Payroll system and contains information needed to produce
the most accurate Withholding Amounts results.
Note: This free version of Smart21.Exe is the generic
version, and is adequate for most customers. Some customers
require a specialized version, and we will be happy to
provide them for a reasonable fee.
Goodie Number 2: MakeAuto.Exe
Tally-Up! can be made to auto execute some reports at
startup and optionally exit by using this free program. Some
users run a custom report daily and send the report file to
accounts payable and/or payroll. They can use this free
program to automate this process. Simply put, MakeAuto
creates an autorun definition file. Once created, you can
execute Tally-Up! with the command
TALLY21.EXE AUTORUN=<filename>
where <filename> is the name of the autorun definition
file created by MakeAuto.
This command can be completely automated by using the
Windows Scheduler utility. For example, the report could
automatically be written once a day at midnight.
Goodie Number 3: TallyRpt.Exe
The Tally-Up! System can create Table
reports and save them in a special file with the extension .DTB.
These DTB files can be viewed and printed in Tally-Up! by
selecting "Reports" -- "Utility Reports"
-- "Stored Table Reports".
The DTB files have special code that allows TallyRpt to
"PrettyPrint" the report, automatically adjusting
printer orientation and font size for the best fit.
TallyRpt is a free utility to view and print these DTB files
without the need for Tally-Up!. It can also view and print
simple text files.
If you have clients to whom you routinely mail or fax
Tally-Up! reports, you can email them TallyRpt just one
time, then email your reports on DTB files where they can
store, view, and "PrettyPrint" them.
Goodie Number 4: Automatic Tally-Up! Data
Backups
Tally-Up! has the ability to back up
your data and settings to a location of your choice.
This little program, along with your Windows Task
Scheduler, allows you to back up your files
automatically, even at night. This downloaded file is
named "backinst.exe". Running it causes an
install program that will install AutoBu21.Exe in your
Tally-Up! 2021 folder.
Then, once you have set your backup
specifications in Tally-Up! (Learn
how here), you will be able to use Windows Task
Scheduler to schedule AutoBu21.Exe to run whenever you want
it to.
For example, we automatically back up our
data every night at midnight. Then, when we start
Tally-Up! the next morning, we see a message indicating that
our data was backed up.
