We would then print out an entire list for her to check. She’s pretty close to knowing all of the costs by heart !!

Thanks very much Eric, I was planning on doing exactly that but to word it with 'empty' or 'different' in the empty field, with a check box to say 'change here' (to be like Mats or change in Mats to be like here) or 'leave'.

I wanted to ask you if there is any known reason for Mac folders to disappear, & possibly the cause of my dilemma. When I purchased a new mac book pro, it came with High Sierra, what a catastrophe entered my computer existence. Keys began hovering & clicking by themselves ! A few things were trashed by themselves ? ! ?

It's getting to be quite disappointing - after all these years in Macs !

Thanks again for suggesting solutions ...

Josh
