Complete. Shipped. According to client, field testing started.

Started work on proposal for Ver. 7.0.

Modifications to Ver 6.2 to make this possible will take far less time than originally anticipated. Final test before shipment could take place in the next couple of days, no snags anticipated, results of tests during construction indicate everything will work as designed and anticipated with a smaller-than-anticipated increase in overall file size - the best of all worlds.

Project returned by client for change orders - at his request. Work performed seems to be what he needed. When this is finished and returned it'll be as Ver. 6.3

Scope of change orders also will be incorporated into Ver. 7.0, upon which I've already started work. Preliminary indications are that it'll be similar, but about five times the size.

Complete, shipped.

I could possibly do another, larger version in the future - we'll see - might depend on how well this one works out.

I also may have found another user for the file - will find out later.

QA test 3 - success. Adding bells and whistles, shipping.

There may still be some glitches in the spreadsheet - will correct as part of customer service.

A learning process. What may satisfy me may not satisfy the client no matter how well it works.

Corrections complete. QA test 3 to be performed again. On the down side, there were other errors discovered and corrected. I have no idea whether all errors were corrected, but this will definitely affect procedures to be used in the final test.

QA Test 3 - fail. Formulas need to be entered to make the data entry process a one-step process throughout the spreadsheet. Some entries where formulas are in need of correction. Page-by-page corrections will be performed. Will take some time.....

QA tests 1, 2 complete, with mods, success. QA test 3 needs to be performed.

If successful, bells and whistles will be added then project will be ready to send out.

QA Test 1 incomplete as of yet, but it became apparent a mod was needed. Now added to all existing pages, version number adjusted accordingly.

Eighteenth test - success.

Construction complete. Spreadsheet larger than originally anticipated, smaller than revised estimate.

Quality assurance tests upcoming.

Sixteenth test - success.

Seventeenth test - success.

Fourteenth test - success.

Fifteenth test - success.

Eleventh test - success.

Twelth test - success.

Thirteenth test - success.

All going well.

Tenth test - success. All results as expected.

Ninth test - success.

Spreadsheet construction is about halfway complete.
