[moneydance] Child of?

[Yehudit Winiarz]

Thanks everyone for the explanations. I'm beginning to see how useful this
tool can be for structuring! Too bad my Laptop seemed to have hit the bullet
(thinking it's a power/battery issue - will get it checked out on the
weekend.) If I use the program on another computer, do I just export the
info after and import it into my laptops when it is fixed? How will it know
not to duplicate anything I've already imported, or to override it, since it
is more current info I am importing?

Thanks,
Yehudit
