Step 1. Use your browser’s print button to print a copy of this page for future reference.

Step 2. Click here to: Download Fast-Flex Plus now! Choose either the "Run" or "Open" option rather than the "Save" option unless you intend to install Fast-Flex Plus on a shared (network) file server.

Note: If you intend to install Fast-Flex Plus on a shared (network) file server, please refer carefully to this URL for additional instructions before proceeding: http://www.flexaccounts.com/network.html

Step 3. After the download completes, we recommend that you click on the "No-Questions-Asked Installation" button for a typical (default) installation. (The installation defaults should always be used unless you are installing to a network.)

If you are told that some of your system files are out of date, this is normal and you will need to let Fast-Flex Plus restart your computer in order to continue with the installation. Start over with Step 2, above, after re-booting your system.

You might need to grant some security permissions to the C:\Program Files (x86)\FFPRO4 folder, but only if you receive "Error 75 - Permission Denied" messages upon starting Fast-Flex Plus.  This is easy for you to do.  On your desktop, right-click the Fast-Flex Plus icon, then click on "Properties".  Next, click "Security".  Under "Group or User Names:", click SYSTEM.  Under "Permissions for SYSTEM", click the "Allow" box on the "Full control" line.  Finally, click the "Apply" and then the "Ok" buttons.

Step 5. The Fast-Flex Plus on-line, printable User's Manual will be found at C:\Program Files\FFPRO4\MANUAL.PDF and is in Adobe's Acrobat Reader format, so you will need to double-click it with Windows Explorer to load it into the Adobe Acrobat Reader. From there you can view and print it. If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer, a free download is available at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html

HOW TO GET STARTED USING FAST-FLEX PLUS QUICKLY:

The Operator's Manual is set up to explain the Main Menu, but that also generally follows the sequence (left to right, top to bottom) that you should operate the software.

The suggested operating sequence is outlined on page 7 of the manual. Please review it now and again after you've read the entire manual. Here is a brief 10-step summary:

1) Start FAST-FLEX PLUS and select the sample Herculean Tire "sample" company (p.27 ).  You can click the big "HELP" button in the lower right corner of the form to guide you through selecting our sample Herculean Tire Company's data.

2) Add your own company (p. 36 )   Note:  Unless you intend to purchase a third-party administrator version of Fast-Flex Plus, you must set up your own company during the initial 90-day free trial period!

3) Select your company (p. 27 )

4) Set up your company's fiscal year dates, etc. (p. 29 )

5) Add your employees and their scheduled paycheck withholdings (p. 43 )

6) Add unscheduled transactions such as reimbursement requests (p. 56 )

7) Add scheduled withholdings on pay day (p. 72 )

8) Print reports to verify data, etc. (p. 86 )

9) Print expense reimbursement checks (p. 98 )

10) Once you've accomplished the first-time cycle, above, you normally just enter reimbursement requests as they come in (p. 56 ), update paycheck withholdings (p. 72 ), and print reimbursement checks (p. 98 ) each pay day.

To enter your own company data, so that you can start administering your own company's cafeteria plan immediately, even in the middle of a fiscal year, please go to this link: http://www.flexaccounts.com/mid_year.html

This gets you jump-started! While there will be a learning curve with this or any other new software, it's not a big one according to hundreds of our customers - most of whom wouldn't classify themselves as computer experts.

Important Note:

The software will operate without cost or obligation for 90 days before it will require an access code for continued usage. Remember, you have a full 90-day evaluation period to use Fast-Flex Plus with your own data before paying us a cent! You can choose to discontinue using Fast-Flex Plus for any reason. We ask no questions and we impose no requirement on you to return the software, manuals or instructional materials, so you have no risk.

To use beyond the 90-day trial, you can purchase additional access time with a Fast-Flex Plus "acess code". You will not need to re-install Fast-Flex Plus and any data you enter during the free trial period will still be valid! Access code pricing information is available at http://www.flexaccounts.com/pricing.html

If your company has 10 or fewer flex-plan participants, you can enter the following permanent, FREE "access code" for perpetual operation:  123456789
