I've done quite a bit of Filemaker work and am currently building a RR solution for income tax prep. I a...

Tony, If you haven't found what you are looking for and you are interested in developing a budget program, then maybe you'd be willing to share what the key features/functions of such a program would contain. I've been developing a tax prep package with RR and have gotten through 50-60% of the effor...

I think if you do a search in the dictionary on "password" you'll find what you need. the command I think will do the trick is "ask password", it has an option that will allow you to catch the password in either clear text or as an encrypted string...

Basic requirements for tax prep software

Here are some high level requirements that I think would be necessary for a tax preparation package.
