There is a complete Checks&Ledger Manual on the disk. The first thing you should do is open it up and read it and/or print it out.
The Checks&Ledger™ program will always use the files that are in the "Blank" folder that is inside the "Files" folder in the same folder with the program. If not present Checks&Ledger will create a new set. If you have the program asking for a password and no matter what you try it is wrong then the correct folder has been moved or renamed. (Do not panic if this happens, just enter any password 6 times and Checks&Ledger will put you back to the desktop after 6 wrong passwords.)
The files that will open when you first start up Checks&Ledger are sample files that give you some examples of how different types of transactions should be handled. Look them over.
To start a totally new company
1: Trash (or rename) the "Files" folder
2. Click on the "FilesX" folder once. Select "Duplicate" from under the File menu. This will give you a copy of the FilesX folder. (You want to keep the original in case you want to make another new company.)
3. Rename a copy of the "FilesX" folder as just plain "Files"
4. Start the Checks&Ledger program. If you have done everything correctly then it will start right up.
5. Go to Setup in the Checks&Ledger program and fill in your company information, Bank Accounts, Categories, and Payee/Vendors. (Rather than creating your own categories you can import one of the "categories..." files in the "Import Samples" folder then delete the ones you do not want.)
