Paul,

   I don't know how it could be so flagged, but I'll take a look. Regardless,
I should not see the bank's monthly service charge show up 4 times on the
same date, nor have a list of purchases on a credit card repeated, with 4
payments of the same amount on the same day. I have a meeting this evening,
so it looks like tomorrow night will be a long session cleaning up theese
duplicates. And, I suppose I'll need to go through each account, too.

   That's what bothers me, too.

Thanks,

Rich
