INTRODUCTION
------------
Welcome to our Personal Accounts program for the Windows Mobile Series of handheld computers.

As it stands, this Shareware version is fully functional but limits you to the number of entries, to enable you to test the program before registering.  Please note that registration does not involve reloading the program, but simply selecting the 'Register' menu option and typing in a registration code to release the 'lock'.

If you have any problems, first visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of our Home Page (www.rmrsoft.com) and if that doesn't answer the question then contact us at support@rmrsoft.com. 

INSTALLATION
------------

Just run RMRBank.Installer.exe on your PC, making sure the handheld is connected and Active-Sync is running.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.	With the majority of handhelds now running PPC2003 and Windows Mobile 5 we have withdrawn the versions that used to run on the older MIPS and SH3 processors and PPC2002.  However, they are still available from RMR Software, so just contact us if you need them.

2.	If you get one of the following errors :
	"Failed to create engine ..." (often with err 80040154)
	"There is no application associated with "BASIC Installer..." 
	"Cannot find extension Forms Data"
you are the victim of a bug in the Pocket PC Operating System associated with uninstalling Visual Basic programs.  See the FAQ at www.rmrsoft.com for the solution.

PROGRAM HISTORY
---------------
V1.1	All bugs found in initial release fixed.

V1.2

1.	The width of the screen columns is now configurable, to allow you to customise the screen display.

2.	A "Look Ahead" mode to enable you to see the state of your finances sometime in the future, taking into account deferred transactions and Direct Debits/Standing Orders.

3.	A date filter has to be added to the Archive/Remove transactions, to increase its flexibility.

4.	The "View" menu will now allow you to jump quickly to any linked RMR programs such as RMRFuel, RMRExpenses and RMRInvest.

5.	The Filter option can now be used in the Transaction screen and has an additional date filter option.

6.	Secondary Currency option

7.	Backup folder moved to \My Documents\

V1.3

1.	A proper icon used.

2.	A Pay Bills option, as used in Quicken, has been implemented.  This allows you to action future Transactions (Direct Debits/Standing Orders) before they actually occur.

3.	A new Tax option has been added so that you can allocate a tax rate to transactions and then change the display to indicate Tax/Gross/Net values.

4.	Accounts now have an additional "Reference" field for any additional information you may wish to add.

5.	The Archive screen bottom line will now toggle between "Archive total" and "Number of Entries".

6.	More RMR program shortcuts have been added to the View menu.

7.	The Backup system has been amended slightly.  Although it worked perfectly on the machine we found that Active Sync did not transfer it properly to the PC, so we have added a date/time stamp to the backup folder so it is transferred correctly.

8.	The Import routine amended again to cope with yet another 'loose' interpretation of the Quicken Interchange Format" (QIF). 

9.	A new professional-looking PDF manual has been produced.

V1.4


1.	An "Auto-Backup" has been implemented so you can get the program to automatically do a backup every day/week/month.

2.	You can now have multiple Category Groups, so that Account Groups can use different Category groups.

3.	The Category screen is now 'paged' in the same way as the Transaction and Archive screen, so that users with a large number of categories do not need to wait a long time for them to display.

4.	The Middle Column of the Transaction screen has 3 additional options.  It can display the entry number or in the case of a transferred transaction, the other account, or the value (normally shown in the last column) if you have the running balance in the last column.

5.	The "Action Now" option for Future Transactions/Direct Debits/Standing Orders now allow you to use either the date on the entry or the date of actioning.

6.	The Filter option now includes the amount as filtering option.

7.	In the Account drop down selector in the Transaction screen the Groups are added to the bottom so that you can easily switch groups from within that screen.

8.	You can now have "Variable Value" Future Transactions/Direct Debits/Standing Orders  where you specify the value when it is actioned.

9.	The Archive folder can be set to an external media card

10.	A "Running Balance" option has been added to the display so you can select the running balance for the last column (and probably move the value to the middle column).  In addition, the Total button now also toggles to Running Balance for the highlighted entry.

1.5	A maintenance release to fix bugs.

1.6	A further maintenance release to fix bugs, but also adding an Account option to the filter in the Archive screen.

1.61	A new installer to cover all versions of Windows Mobile.

2.0	Full Landscape support now incorporated.

3.2	Automatic landscape/portrait switching added, plus support for 240x400 and 480x800 screen resolution.

3.4	Full support for WM 6.5 added
