When you have a question, first check the program's built-in help information. RTG Bills, RTG Timer, and RTG Conflicts all have extensive help right in the program. Press the F1 key or click the Help button!

Next read the Frequently Asked Questions.

If your question remains unanswered, feel free to contact us. We do all support via e-mail. Read our Support Policy for further information.

If necessary, you can send us a fax: 775-249-8952. This can be useful if you want to show us a problem with a bill, for example. Please don't send a fax instead of an e-mail message! We receive faxes as e-mail attachments anyway, so you won't get higher priority. Faxes are just harder to read and take longer to reply to.

Finally, you can write to us. Our mailing address is:
