    I want to emphasize that you all click the above and see what is required and what you MUST set (exactly).

    This also available on Billing window. When "Display Print Options" checked is clicked, the Print Option window appears.


     

  3. Synchronize Payments File LIMO ID to Tools menu. This is primarily for companies with multiple LIMO ID to make sure that the trip LIMO ID matches payment record for a particular trip. To use: Start LimoWiz then go to Tool menu and choose select Synchronize Payments File LIMO ID.

    However, there is another way that you may use. Ctrl-Page Up: goes to first record, and Ctrl-Page Down: goes to last record.
