Message to all: Hello, I just recently bought Maxi-Plan4 for my Amiga with the intention of setting up a spreadsheet to track my finances. I am a freelance contractor so things can get a little hairy… So, of course I have run into some trouble regarding Macros, I have written some interesting ones that work and others that don't, for no apparent reason. I have double checked my functions so that, according to the book I am using them correctly, yet they continually fail to function properly. I don't know if anyone out there is familiar with MaxiPlan but if you are and think you could help me out please drop me a line. I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Scott Nelson

I just bought it too, and frankly, in my opinion, it is an application that was made out of raw sewage and dog food mixed with dead mice and cat stomachs. I'd return it, but I can't because of store policy. The wretched thing is, so far as I can tell, a 1.3 app – it has the 1.3 look and feel, no ARexx port, no screen-mode requester, no support for more than 16 colors, no no no no no no. Hell, I'm sorry. I can't help you. I've had the same experience and I guess I felt the need to vent. That verminated colostomy bag has earned a spot in my garbage can – or better yet, my disposal, except that I don't have a disposal. Such is life. Good luck getting your macros done. If you find out what the problem was, drop me a line if you don't hate me for this message. Paul
