Hi Suzannesjsm,

Are you referring to reports you can use as your Desktop home page? There are several reports you can use. you can find them on your server under TIMBERLINE OFFICE\9.5\Documents\Desktop\Home Pages\Commercial Construction. There are reports there that have (No CN) or (No CN or PJ) in the title that will run off of just Job Cost records.

Thanks!

Thank you. I have tried to access these files to bring them to open on my desktop. The problem is that any of the financial ones I try to open give me an error that it can not locate a master file arm. to be able to (I assume gather the information). The tech people were on my computer for over an hour and told me it was because we do not have the AR module. But why would I need It if part of the job cost module is for my billing and receipt of payments.

Error message : Unable to access the data file: \\server-08\TimberlineDate\DiPompeo\master.arm.

So basically I was told any reports that had to do with financials' I would not be able to use and that make no sense. (Atleast to me) 

While Job Cost contains basic functionality to track job-based billings and payments, the Accounts Receivable module, when installed, creates the AR Master File (Master.ARM) that allows you to create Customer Records, and several transactional data files.The AR application must be implemented, by setting up customers and bringing on beginning balances and/or transaction history at the time of "going live" with AR.  When the AR application is installed, the billing and payment functionality contained within Job Cost will be blocked, and the menus allowing entry of billing and payments will no longer appear.  You may need to consult your Sage/Timberline consultant for help with implementing Accounts Receivable if you already own that application.
