I've been using Checkbook and then Checkbook Pro for a couple years, and I just love it! However something that's been bugging me is: What's the difference between Categories and Descriptions? Could somebody explain why I should use both? In earlier versions of Checkbook there was no category field, so I used the description field for things like "Food: Eating out" "Utilities: Electricity" etc. but now it seems redundant. Now I only use categories, and leave all the descriptions blank. Am I missing something?

Anything you want it to mean.

Like...
Category - Medical; Description - Dr. Jones
The "description" could be the detailed description of the larger category.

Take your pick.
