Thanks for your input. Does AW6 have cell background colors? I'm using 
these quite a bit lately because they
make my sheets easier to look at. Does AW6 also do worksheets, or not? 
It would be nice to be able to do totals
on a master sheet that would link to each monthly budget. Although I'm 
not doing that now, and I can catch
mistakes by reviewing each month's totals and transposing them to the 
next month's sheet, although one might
say this leads to more (human) errors in the long run.
