If all I have to do is run a report once in a while I'm OK with that. I'll try running a report today and take a look at it.

OK, thanks Marty.

Bumping this. I could really use an hour meter to keep track of spindle bearing maintenance. CNC12 already keeps track of a job's runtime. Why couldn't it write that number to a file every time you run a job? Hours.txt or something like that. At the end of every cycle update the runtime. It seems si...
