This should correct the incompatibility issues that some users experienced last quarter with the Excel 2003 files.

Anyone know what class code I should use for workmans comp insurance when raising live bait?
What is your GL Class Code? A cross reference from that would be a good start. Strictly a guess, but if it's earthworm farming I would probably use "Rated As" Feed, Grain or Hay Dealers, NCCI Code 8215 (924 in DE & PA.) If it's raising minnows or crawdads or something, I'd probably use Fish Hatcheries, NCCI Code 0113 (0034 in CA, DE, MI & PA - 0055 in NJ, 0005 in NY.) I think an argument could be made to use Fish Hatcheries in either case (earthworms or minnows, etc.)
