Hi Joseph!
It sounds like you're looking to have a completely separate document with Accounts that are just for your side business. You can definitely do that. Open
CheckBook Pro, go to the
File menu, down to
New, and click the
Document... menu item. Name the document whatever works for you, save it someplace safe, like your
Documents folder, and you're on your way. The easiest way to switch between your documents is from the
File >
Open Recent submenu.
CheckBook Pro won't limit the number of Accounts or Entries you can have in a single document, though you may run into performance issues the closer you get to, say, 100,000 Entries. We test with 70,000 or more Entries on the regular and Macs from the last five years or so don't really have an issue with that. You'd need around 400 Entries every month since 2007 to get near that number so you're probably in good shape. If performance ever does dip for you, let us know at
support@splasm.com and we'll see what we can do!
