These video tutorials are designed for new users and demonstrate how to set up the most common types of bill and record work.

The videos are presented in Flash format. If your browser does not already have it you will need to download the Flash plug-in from the Macromedia website.

You can pause the video, fast forward it or rewind it using the controls at the bottom of the screen. This way you can run part of the tutorial then try it out for yourself in CostsMaster.

Each video will open in a new browser window. When you are finished simply close it to return to this page.

You don't need to wait for the entire video to download before playing it - it will happily play whilst it is downloading the rest of the file.

Because of their size the video tutorials are most suited to users with broadband. However, dial-up users may be able to access them by following the link and waiting for enough of the file to download before starting the video. (The download progress is indicated by the black line in the middle of the position slider at the bottom of the screen.)

We hope to add to the tutorials over the coming months and we welcome your feedback.
