Yup, so does the one I posted a few messages above. Very handy for keeping track of your vendor sales

Isodi, is the one you linked to is internet-based? I glanced at it, but it seemed to be keeping a running tally of everybody that had registered's totals. I'd be interested in using a more up-to-date program for sure, but I'm a little leery of having anything from my computer uploaded to even a semi-public place on a regular basis if it is, in fact, web based. It looked cool though. The search function to look up what the average cost of items on other servers is super keen.

Yes it is entirely web-based. It uploads the mails from your profile folder to the site, where they are then parsed & kept on a database so you can view reports on your own sales & purchases, as well as any others if they make their data public.
I guess some people would be a little dubious of allowing someone else's program to pull data up from their machine, but I personally don't think there's anything to worry about here

One more quick question about it. Once everything is uploaded, can I finally delete all 2200 of my e-mails? (Yes, I've really saved 2200 of them, lol.) With Merchant's Friend, either I archive or I just keep letting the mail pile up. Since archiving effectively removes that part of my records from showing up with the most current mail it's just more trouble than it's worth to archive. I'm thinking maybe I'll use the web-based prg. for the daily stuff and just archive everything in Merchant's Friend as a backup every week or so. That way, if the web-based prg.'s server should crash (heaven forbid!), I'll still have a record of most everything.

You can do that yeah. I would suggest you keep them all in a zip file somewhere though. It takes up a lot less space
