                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Dale L. Medford, certify that:

      To the best of my knowledge and belief, the Annual Report on Form 10-K
      filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 13, 2004 by
      The Reynolds and Reynolds Company and to which this certification is
      appended fully complies with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information contained in the
      Annual Report fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial
      condition and results of operations of The Reynolds and Reynolds Company.

                                                             /s/ DALE L. MEDFORD
