Vehicle maintenance logs - either Excel or Word??

[WilliamBos]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has or sues a spreadsheet for vehicle (truck, tractor, etc...) maintenance?? If so, it it something you would share??

My owners manual in the truck is getting full, and just a notepad for the tractor, looking to transfer all over.

Using Office for Mac 2011.

Thanks.

I downloaded it, but have not been disciplined enough to use it. If that one doesn't suit your need here is a link to the Microsoft template site all of which are free.

You'll need Access 2007 to run the database.

Yea, I saw that after I posted it. They have some for Excel also, I posted a link and then reread the post and saw he was using a Mac. So I deleted it and put the oops up instead.

I will go back on the site and find the two that I listed for Excel.

At each fill-up I write the mileage on the cc receipt and put it in an envelope in the glove box as an analog log. At oil and filter changes, I tear off the top of the oil filter box to write the pertinent info on (date, mileage, oil specs), and slip it in the same envelope. At the end of the year, a new envelope is used and the accountant uses the other envelope for tax info.

This is what I found for Excel. All the templates you can modify to fit your needs.

Again, looks like most are for Office 2007 or newer. They use different extensions then the older Office programs.

Ah come on Roy, nobody is acually using an older version than 2007 are they :laughing:.

I update the full version of office with every new release. Then I get it through my employer at a very reasonable price.

I'm running Office 2003 on one PC, Office 2002 on another.
Microsoft did this same stupid thing about no backwards compatability 10 years or so ago...
You can save Office 2007 and 2010 in earlier formats though.
