Default Re: Windows Mobile Pocket PC?

I added the "Automatic Decimal Entry" option because on my phone it's a pain to enter the decimal point. I think in the future I might create some kind of on screen number pad for entering these fields. I know some devices have better real keyboards than others. Mine isn't that easy to use.

At this point its probably best to guesstimate the cost of a fuel fill based on a standard gasoline price but you'd have to figure that out before entering the data. I'll consider building an option in the future for a standard price for entering old data that doesn't have price info. I really liked the idea of having "operating cost" calculations so that is why fuel price is required entry.

There is a section in the help file at the end that describes how you can edit the database (info text) files directly if you make a mistake on data entry. When I originally started building this program it was just going to be for me, so I created the program to use simple text files for data storage that were easy for me to edit if I goofed on entering data. One of the big changes I would like to do for a new version is convert the text datafiles to a Mobile SQL database, and then I will add the ability to edit previous event entries directly in the program, and also allow people to create their own custom events/alerts to record.

Two climate control systems, one inside and the other at the tailpipe.
