   As a followup, I would recommend that nobody buy their MoneyCounts program

   referred to by name: they had to be referred by NUMBERS (01-50: checking a/c's,
   etc.)  Their programs are cheap -- for a reason. 

Adrian,

MC V.6.5 is a vast improvement over 5.0, which came out several years back.
I wouldn't attack Parson's on the basis of an obsolete version.  MC6.5 has been
fantastic for me, and has an excellent user interface, with a lot of "smarts"
built in to select the most likely payees, amounts, account names, etc. so you
do not have to type the whole thing in each time.

Good luck!
