Abstract: A software program which provides the user with a familiar simple user interface, such as a Windows® environment, to import remote transaction tracking data from a remote location into a financial software data format in a central computer. Herein, the phrase “financial software data format” means a format which forms part of the existing data structure of the financial software, e.g. native data file structure, or a format which is directly supported and importable into the financial software. Most financial software programs use unique data structures which render the data unusable by other software. In the context of the native data file structure as an “financial software data format” file, the imported data has been merged directly into the data file used by the financial software. A large number of software packages support import and export of data interchange file formats such as delimited ASCII or similar files.
