Hi David, I think you were the guy that pointed me towards Time & Chaos. I'm using it also...6 months or so. It works well! Thanks for the info on Quicken Home & Business. Question: At this time I am trying to separate the home from the business by using Quicken and Quickbooks. Is there any separation in Home and Business?
