Entering/Saving/Finding Invoices:

Once an invoice has been saved, you may start a new invoice by clicking Clear/New Invoice from the Invoices menu. You may also View All from this menu. Once entered, an invoice may be recalled by clicking Find Invoice, and entering the Invoice # or Customer Name.

Adding/Editing Items:

Items can be easily added/edited by clicking View/Edit Items from the Items menu. This opens a new window with all entered items in a table.

Saving and Loading Data:

Likewise, by clicking Load, you can retrieve data previously saved. This should be done when you have an empty database to avoid having duplicate transactions.
