You can now add descriptive notes to each Gas Check. Go to the "Gas Check" tab for any tank on an account. Scroll to the right to see the area for entering these notes.

Running Balances . . .

A "Running Balance" column has been added to the far right of the ledger window for Balance Forward accounts. This does not apply to Open Item type accounts.

Notes on an account . . .

How do you know if there are notes on an account? In the past you had to go and look for them. A new feature has been added that makes this much easier. Now, if there are any notes attached to an account, you will see an asterisk on the NOTES tab for the account.
