Cost Control- Data menu

The MacNail construction accounting software adds three menus to the Excel DATA menu when the Cost Control Manager is running (see also page 169).

NOTE-- In 2000, MacNail was replaced by Goldenseal construction accounting software. Goldenseal is an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. It does not require Excel, and does a much better job of job costing.
