Windows 3.x and Windows 95/98/2K/ME/XP Special Features
If the file \auto_est\refresh.dat exists, Quick Quote will automatically restart using that vehicle information. Refresh.dat uses either of the import file specs. Only create refresh.dat if your invoice has a vehicle. You may also want to delete the Quick Quote export files you are using at this time to avoid importing that data into a later invoice. Do not delete labor.bin or tax.bin.
All export files are rewritten any time a change is made to the estimate. This allows you to pick up the data at any time. Quick Quote can therefore stay running on the task bar. Your program can use an "Import from Quick Quote Button" or better yet, delete our export file after reading, check for existence (recreation) and/or changes of our export file and bring in the estimate automatically.
