dcg2122 Oh my! As an accountant, I'm horrified by what I see. That's how I learned accounting in school about 45 years ago, on paper. If you don't want to buy a proper accounting system, why not enter all your transactions (i.e. journal entries) in one table (Date, Account, Description, and create general ledger from there. Just a thought.
Riny_van_Eekelen This is the accounting system that the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the US expect their treasurers to maintain. It's OK if I use, as you say, a proper accounting program, but even then, I still have to maintain this Ledger, as does every other treasurer in every other VFW Post, District and Department who this land. As you san see from my ledgers, I don't have a lot of tramsactions so it would be counterproductive for me to invest in a progam like quickbooks only to have to still maintain this ledger. What I am after or what I wanted to do is automate the process and share it with my counterparts so they don't have maintain this in a semi-stubby pencil fashiion. Right or wrong, it is what it is and it's not going to change, so with that said, are you willing to help me make something worthwhile.?
dcg2122 Understood and fair enough. I can only sympathise with you and your counterparts for the fact that you are forced to work with this format.
