Tree Planting Accounting Software Video Tutorial

Well, they say a picture is a thousand words, and since there’s 25 pictures a second… Although I admit the quality of the videos are not that great (they improved over the tutorial as I learned how to save things better), they should give you a good overview how the accounting software functions, and I can always add better quality and more detailed videos in the future based on particular requests.

Otherwise you can check out the online help files at the tree planting accounting software pages for a full explanation how the program operates and where you can download a free demo version and a free Excel file used to manage incoming reefers.

For best clarity the below videos should be watched in sequence. To the bottom right of each video frame (second icon from the right) you can press the YouTube button to increase the video size to full screen.

Changing the Look and Feel

Unlike accounting software which might be designed in C++ language (Windows fixed), since this treeplanting accounting software is written in MS Access (a part of Microsoft Office, as is Excel), you will be able to change the look and feel yourself, and make any other changes. In effect, it is technically a fully open source software.

Searching within Tables and Data

Access has much more powerful search functions than Excel, allowing you to find and sort the data at your fingertips and hone in on what data you need.

Fancy Graphs

Since all the data and tables are interconnected, graphs can become very useful, not to mention that they automatically update as soon as you add or change any of the tree planting tallies or figures.

Camp Costs

An easy way how to deal with camp costs – a default value which automatically inputs with every new day’s tally and a good overview of each tree planter’s camp costs for each day.

Inputting Data

Add tally numbers using drop down menus of planters, blocks and tree species, add many planters at once, while data and calculations throughout the rest of the database update automatically.
