Transaction Import Matching

[John R. Sowden]

Workarround #3:  Ask your provider to increase the fee for one child by 
$1.00 and decrease the fee for a different child by $1.00.  This way 
they would all be different.  The only problem is determining which 
child requires less day care work, and which requires more. :)
