Peggy,
The Beta Testing versions are really for experienced users who both want to see what may be in the next version, and who can put up with an occasional bug here or there as things are being created, debugged, and tweaked. If you're new and starting a practice, stick with the released version.
That being said, if you WANT to play with the early test version of Amazing Charts, I can assure you that the "core functionality" - the nuts and bolts which we use to get our work out the door - is solid in the current beta test version.
Regards,
V.
