>>Hi everybody,
>>
>>Ok, I have to admit, that I either never done it or did it a long time ago and forgot the basics. I'm trying to create an Invoice document. Actually, I have a template, but it is currently static, e.g. I just type hours and the sum. This sounds stupid to me, so I want to do it right. E.g. I want to be able to type hours I've worked, have Total hours computed and the Total Due computed as well. How should I go about it:

Ok, I've done it. Took me a while to figure this out and I'm not yet confident, but at least the simple invoice works now.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
