After 9 years of using Vantage you learn a short cut or two!
But you're right after 500 clicks it does become moot...except for the OSHA Dr. who treats the shipping clerk for carpal tunnel.

Not sure where you are getting 5. It really does not matter at this
point but maybe you aren't counting menu selections to get there or
drop down box selections. In the end they are all clicks.
1. Header Menu Selection
2. Misc Charge Selection
3. Add Button Selection
4. Charge Drop Down Box Triangle Selection
5-6. Selection itself (Double-click)
7. Enter number
8. OK button
9. Close Button
times 100
Unless you are entering it in a different manner. You are probably
not counting everything. It is a moot point from here.
We'll see what the extra shipping modules contribute from here.
Thanks Mike,
Ross
