Payment Editor

I snapped. Heh.

It was about time I grew tired of all the editing I have to do with all the mistakes in posting payments. Every time Agnes calls me to adjust batches of O.R. numbers, I have had to:

1. Load up the SQL front end.
2. Open my database of commands.
3. Open the commands table.
4. Select the second-to-last record for the template.
5. Copy the template's starting O.R.# to the clipboard.
6. Ask Agnes what the starting O.R.# to edit is.
7. Search and replace.
8. Copy the template's ending O.R.# to the clipboard.
9. Ask Agnes what the ending O.R.# to edit is.
10. Search and replace.
11. Copy the template's date of payment to the clipboard.
12. Ask Agnes what the posting date to edit is.
13. Search and replace.
14. Ask Agnes what to edit (teller_id, payment_date, O.R.#'s)
15. If O.R.#'s, switch to the command prompt or load one up.
16. Calculate the difference between correct and wrong starting O.R.#'s.
17. Search and replace.
18. Execute appropriate commands.

Now, with editpay.bat, I have compressed these steps into:

1. Editpay , , ,
2. Execute appropriate commands.

Kewl!!!
