AG COMPUTER USERS VIEW "WHAT'S AROUND THE BEND"
"Great! Perfect
mix of presentations." "Having interaction with other users
plus advisors brings issues up that normally are not discussed on a one-on-one
basis." "Very enjoyable cruise."
Those are a few of the comments we've received from participants at the
13th annual FBS User Conference in Moline, Illinois. Producers and advisors
from ten states convened at the Stoney Creek Inn on the banks of the Mississippi river
to exchange ideas and view "what's just around the bend" in management
information systems. Here are some highlights:

Q.

My
Check Register/Reconciliation Report used to not display checks
and deposits cleared after the date of the report. Is
there any way to get that back? |
| a.
|
Even
though this report now displays detail of any checks and deposits
cleared after the report date, in the recap section
uncleared balances are split into two lines: Uncleared
(never have been cleared) and Cleared After (cleared, but
after the report dates).
See example below.
