  11. Sir,
    I have two problems :
    1. While exporting any report to excel, I am getting excel.xlsx from the office and excel.xls from home remote working. For both I am using the same laptop. And at home, I could not export at all either to excel or pdf.
    2. In the office, while exporting the Invoice to PDF, second page of the invoice, the vertical lines are not aligning. In the body of the invoice, we mention, SL no. Description, HSN/SAC code, Rate per hour, total hours worked and finally amount. All these involve vertical lines separation. Second page lines are always abnormal.

    Please help.

    Thanks very much indeed.

    1. Dear Riz,

      Thanks for your query… If you don’t have super user rights then you are not able to do this job. Only superusers have full access of operate all the account. If you have simple user account then it is not possible.

      1. Thanks Sharma for your reply.
        I have super user rights,
        I want restrict other people (partially) to edit a specific accounts (etc. banks).
        e.g.
        I have normal account for BANK entries, all users are posting in this account on daily basis.
        SAY, if i tally my BANK account and after this I don’t want anyone to disturb my ledger.
        for this purpose I want a simple lock for every User (below Super user) to restrict any data entry after specific date.
        I think my may be clear to you.
