Hi Daveed,

Are you a Duxbury user of the full version, or just the demo?  Perhaps
you would then care to be more specific about what is needed by way of

This question has come up before, and we have had very little feedback.

Unless we know exactly what is wrong, we cannot take steps to correct
it.

Blanket statements help no one.
