thats why I said I wasnt interested ... i meant 'in their =
pricing'...just wanted to see how they set it up in Excel.

I want to set up a Configurator and a Estimator in one shot...then maybe =
pull the price out right into a boilerplate estimate/contract.

So...design the system...prices it...produces written estimate/contract =
all in one deal. The way mine works now after I configure/price it I =
STILL have to retype it into my contract...double werk.
