Chris, expect a call or email from Mitch Prause soon. He said he'd help you. I'd like to see SAC buy a checkbook program like Quick Books, Quicken, or MS Money, and keep these files in a standard format going forward. All we need is a basic checking account program and any of these would be more than robust enough for our purposes and are extremely easy to use.
