Here's a pickle. And it happens more often than you'd think in our small industry.

I have a client - Mr Smith who works for X-Company. He's in billings as Mr Smith, and he's in my Address Book as Mr Smith.

Then Mr Smith ups sticks and goes to Y-Company. It's easy for the Address Book - just change the details for Mr Smith.

But in Billings, all the work I have done for Mr Smith is attached to X-Company. Now I have a new job, and suddenly it's all confusing.

I want my Address Book to deal with People.

I want Billings to deal with the companies they work for, but I still want to track who gives me work in various companies.

Any clues?

Especially, how do I convert my person-orientated job billings to Company oriented billings?

The problem is that if you have more than one client in a company then that company will be displayed twice if you set the client list to display companies.

Would you bill the company or client? If you bill the company then you can have a project named after the person.

If you bill the person then you would keep their contact card in AB as a person and not as a company in address book. Their name would be displayed in the client list in Billings, when you invoice the person's name and organization name will appear on the invoice.

You can't have a hierarchy and have the company displayed then have two clients underneath with all their Billings data stored under one company.
