Gene, that's exactly what I was getting at... I was in the midsts of adding some checks, when I lost everything I had previously done. I don't think an "autosave after an update" is a feature that is too much to ask for.

It use to be able to fit on a floppy disk. Dirk has done wonders adding to the program. You see almost very day someone asking for this little program to do something new. It seems (to me) that we want Salive to do everything and more. We have forgotten to do something ourselves. I'm not picking on your idea, it's just that I'd hate to see the program get out of hand with new things being added. If your adding new checks, why not add all you checks and then save them before you do a test of each check. That way if something should happen you'll have all your newly added checks and maybe just have to edit a few that are not giving the correct response.
