Hrm, no, I hadn't dealt with this.  In fact I hadn't thought of this
problem..  OTOH, my plan is to only prevent typing in the various
cells, not limit what you can type.  I haven't figure out exactly how
this will work, yet.  In fact, I may just have it ignore the due date
and not lock down the other cells.  I mean, what _does_ a due-date
mean if you have an 'invoice debit'?  Clearly the due-date is only
valid for real invoices, and should be ignored for any debits, whether
it's a payment or a correction...
