VehiCalc V3.0 Now Available

We're pleased to announce that VehiCalc Car Loan/Lease Analyzer V3.0 is now available. This new release is Windows Vista compatible and adds the QuikCalc V6.0 interface that has proven hugely popular. Existing users can upgrade for 50% off the regular price.

DebtCalc V2.0 Now Available

We're happy to announce that DebtCalc Debt Elimination Calculator V2.0 is now available. This new release is Windows Vista compatible and adds the QuikCalc V6.0 interface that has proven hugely popular. Existing users can upgrade for 50% off the regular price.

Payment Coupons Now In Plus! and Premium Editions

Based upon the popularity of the suggestion that we add Payment Coupons to the Plus! and Premium Editions in a recent newsletter survey, we decided to move this feature up from the V7.0 release and do it immediately. For free! Existing V6.0 users of QuikCalc Plus! and Premium can now print Payment Coupons directly from the Loan Manager's Payments tab. This was previously restricted to Office Edition users only.

As well, in answer to the constant requests for where Payment Coupon paper could be purchased, we are now making custom made, perforated paper available for order directly from us. This paper can be ordered on our website by selecting Payment Coupons from the Reports button in QuikCalc and clicking the option to purchase the paper online.

Existing V6.0 Plus!, Premium and Office Edition users should update their software from the Help menu to access the latest Payment Coupon format as well as the link to purchase the paper.

Windows Vista

We have been testing our products against Windows Vista and are happy to announce that QuikCalc V6.0 functions fine. Please install the latest update from your Help menu for a fix to the help system.

As well, the upcoming versions of VehiCalc and DebtCalc also work with Vista. We had hoped to have these ready before Vista's release however this proved impossible due to circumstances beyond our control.

Note that QuikCalc V5.0 and earlier, DebtCalc V1.0 and VehiCalc V1.0 and V2.0 do not work with Vista. If you are upgrading to Vista, please upgrade to the latest version.

You will notified here and via newsletter when the new DebtCalc and VehiCalc are released.

Happy New Year! Our latest newsletter is now available. To view it, click here, to subscribe, click here.

One key item in this newsletter is the fact that we are soliciting input on several feature ideas. Here is a quote from that newsletter:

We get many of our best ideas from people like you. Please read the items below that we are considering and let us know if you are interested in any of them. Simply clicking on the link should send us an e-mail that is preformatted with the feedback. You of course can add any more info you would like.

Read-Only Office Edition: We have had a suggestion submitted that we add a new "read-only" version of QuikCalc that allows people to connect to a QuikCalc Office installation and view the data, but not edit it. This would be available at a discounted price due to the limited features. Does this interest you? Yes, this interests me!

Payment Coupon Paper: We have been asked by many if we supply the perforated paper to print QuikCalc Office Edition's Payment Coupons on. If we offer this custom paper, would you be interested? Yes, this interests me!

1098 Form Generation: This seems to be a popular request, especially at this time of the year. Does adding this to QuikCalc interest you? Yes, this interests me! What about 1099-INT Forms? Yes, this interests me!

Loan/Schedule Emailing: We have had several variations on this theme. One is to be able to e-mail loans or schedules to other QuikCalc users. Yes, this interests me! The other is to be able to generate a PDF of a report and then e-mail it. Yes, this interests me!

Multiple Database Support for Office Edition: Some people have multiple businesses and want to be able to keep their information separate. Would you like to be able to have multiple databases within QuikCalc that keeps your data completely separate? Yes, this interests me!

We of course are open to all suggestions on how to improve our software. Please feel free to send these to suggestions@slateboard.com.
