   If the help file gets reworked please can you also split so each product gets its' own help file. 
   
  The problem with the current help file is that search results are largely useless as all items location is 'Xtreme Suite ActiveX Controls', i.e. not different for each product.  |

    "User-friendly", the manual is not. 
We've all seen what happens when a programmer designs a program from HIS perspective and not from the user's perspective. It results in a classic lack of usability.

 The irony of this statement is ... 
The reason no one reads it is because it often makes no sense to most people. That's why people complain about it.
