Liz,

  Many thanks. I've just spent an hour entering data and am getting the hang
of it. The sequence takes a little getting used to (the debit/credit columns
are reversed compared with my business accounting software, other accounting
software I've used and the paper checkbook registers), but I'm making quick
progress now.

Appreciate the help!
