Joost, I keep a time stamped journal of all of my projects. Every time I switch tasks I add in an inactive timestamp, and I make sure each TODO item is timestamped on close. Then I can open the agenda for just that file, enter logbook mode, and enable inactive timestamps. This gives me a great detailed timeline as to what occurred and when. It does not tally hours automatically, but I have previously used it to justify hours in my consulting practice. > BTW, just looking at the LOGBOOK drawer doesn't work, because I > may clock in and out of a project several times a day. Not the drawer, logbook mode. "l" in the agenda. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
