Thank you both for your replies. From the clues here and some looking around, I was able to find the offending parts of both doctext.inc and rep111.php and replaced "VAT no." with "Tax no." and all appears to be working. I did it on each of the various forms and reports. I guess there is no way to know if we'll run into trouble until we use the programs more, but I marked down the filenames and lines of code I modified so they can be put back if needed.

I'm still wondering if a part of my FA instance is missing because "Forms Setup" is not a feature that appears in my Setup window.

Regarding the length of the comments field, it sounds like a winning strategy to force a new line character after so many characters. I am not a PHP coder so I wouldn't even begin to know how to do this. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I see the Forms Setup mentioned in the wiki and in Help, but this feature is not visible in my Setup window. Is there a different place I should be looking for it? A screen shot of my window is at this link: http://oi67.tinypic.com/2ppkhlj.jpg. I'm using version Version 2.4.2 Build 31.07.2017.

I'm looking for a way to edit the Sales Quotation form to change or remove "Your VAT no." and change all other references to "VAT" to simply "Sales Tax". I am in the US and we do not have VAT.

I have changed my language to "en_US" thinking that might help, but it hasn't.

A secondary problem with this form is in the comments on our Quotations. We must add comments, but when there are many items in the quotation list, the Comments and Subtotal information overlap when printed. Here is a screen shot of that problem: http://oi68.tinypic.com/11jsm6g.jpg

When the item list gets long enough, the subtotal and tax info rolls to a second page and the conflict is resolved, but I can see this being a perpetual problem for our users.

A few carefully placed carriage returns in the comments text seems to force the text into place. This is a clunky workaround that won't be very user friendly for our users. I was hoping to find a way to make the comments box narrower in all forms.

Thank you in advance for your replies and assistance.
