That sounds fun but what happens when RAD Software eventually tires of
supporting
this program and stops releasing new versions, and the old copies won't run
anymore
on the next version of Windows? You lose all your effort entering data,
right?

I use an Excel ------sheet for this sort of thing. Even if MS goes away,
there's
too many ------sheets out there for the next generation ------sheet program
not
to have a converter in it that reads old Excel files.

Good call Ted. I agree - cheap easy - just the way I like it.
