Re: Accounting/bookkeeping

its been a while since I took an accounting class. that brings back memories. I 
had to set up a template to handle that then but its been a while since I 
looked at it. I would almost have  to take the class again.

  No, the double-entry form of accounting is an accounting style. Unlike a 
simple check register, which is a single entry form of accounting, a 
double-entry method provides for a debit entry on one side (income or 
liability) and an equal credit amount on the opposite. It is a book-balancing 
system. For example, enter a payment of $500 in accounts receivable for 
customer Joe Blow (credit) since he paid his bill and a $500 entry (debit) in 
the cash account. Take away from accounts receivable and add to cash on hand. 
And, yes, the "debit/credit terminology is always confusing for those not 
familiar.

    when you say double entry are you speaking of having a row whereby you 
might send a single payment for two separate issues? 
    another suggestion is A P H's Moneytalks software. It will allow to split 
an entry.

      That works fine for check registers and so forth -- for any single entry 
system but I do need double entry.

      Thanks,
