<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This can be implemented in a gazillion different
ways,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but in the end there should be data in the
program</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that resembles</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>struct check{</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> char *number;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> char *payee;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> char *amount;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> char *memo;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> char *etc;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>};</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now what I am not understanding is why is it not
trivial</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to import flat text data into this program.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are two possible explanations. The
first being that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>there is no such animal as a check in the
program. At</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>least not one that resembles the structure
above.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>second is the
concern that just importing a bunch of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>checks would throw the ledger out of balance.
Usually </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>programs handle this by having a post function in
the program. The checks dont go to the GL until they are </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>posted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can someone please enlighten me here.</FONT></DIV>
